Randomized trial evaluates baseball skill tests' validity and reliability in junior players, suggesting their use for talent assessment.

This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of specific baseball skill tests for junior players aged 13 to 17.
Forty junior baseball players participated in skill tests for throwing accuracy, catching ability, batting accuracy, and base running speed.
Reliability was assessed through a test-retest approach, while criterion validity was evaluated by expert performance comparisons.
Statistical analysis was used to calculate validity and reliability coefficients.
Validity coefficients ranged from 0.74 to 0.88, indicating strong validity for the skill tests.
Reliability coefficients ranged from 0.81 to 0.93, demonstrating good reliability of the assessments.
The study confirms that selected skill assessments are reliable and valid tools for evaluating junior baseball players.
