The 2023 Irondale Baseball League Traveling Teams have been formed based on the results from traveling tryouts held on October 1 at Irondale High School.

NOTE:  Due to the numbers at some age groups IBL reserved the right to combine age groups in order to form teams.  Players were not selected for a team more than 1 age group up from their level.

Tryout Player Evaluations:
Every player’s baseball skills were evaluated by a team of impartial evaluators provided by the Baseball Board. The evaluators were people known to possess the knowledge necessary to evaluate a player's skill at a particular level. Evaluators were not related to any of the tryout participants involved in their assigned age level. The evaluation scores were the primary basis used to select the players for each traveling team. Tryout sessions were organized and facilitated by a board member, but board members did not participate in the actual player evaluation scoring process.

Players Transferred to Instructional Baseball:
Those players not making one of the traveling teams are eligible for the IBL Instructional Baseball program.  Registration for the Instructional League will open in December.

Questions:
For questions about the traveling baseball tryout and selection process, please email IBL: website.ibl.baseball@gmail.com
