Exit velocity, spin rate, sprint speed, readiness scores—every department in baseball runs on data. Front offices use it for selection, coaches for development plans, trainers to reduce injury risk.
The area north of the neck fell behind. The NOYN®: Mental Tools Evaluation closes that gap. It measures the psychological variables separating good players from great ones, then aligns training with how each player’s brain works.
Seven are well established in the research. Seven are new to NOYN®, discovered through decades of applied work with elite performers.
How you compete—approach at the plate, command under pressure, and the way you respond to an 0-2 count or a blown save.
How you interact with coaches, catchers, and teammates. How you take instruction, communicate, and fit a clubhouse.
Your internal headspace across a 162-game grind or a short college season: self-talk, emotional control, and how you handle slumps.
A 20–30 minute online assessment, answered in the context of baseball. Your report shows where you stand and which mental skills will move the needle.
