MLB clubs coming into the house. Many want to give their psychological tests that each take about an hour.
How many of these are there? Can they just share the results? Can/should we say "no" at some point?

well if you want to get drafted better take the tests. Sometimes the pysch tests have some interesting results. One player scored so badly, teams thought he ought to be committed.
They might have been right, after find out he was ONLY drafted in the 2nd round. He tossed his phone with his mom on the line threw his hotel window
justball...many different ones, no, you can't get results, say NO only if you have chosen the team and are 150% sure they will draft him...not a good idea.

justball, Have your son do the tests if you have interest in signing out of high school. The only test that is shared is the one given by the MLB scouting bureau.

My son utilized the "TAP" report last year as a soph and set his goals around the results, traits and tendencies as scored. He has since improved his game, his grades and his ability to lead. At 15, he thought it was a "why me thing" from dad. Now after learning about himself and goal setting as well as normal maturity, he has seen the self improvement and told several of his teammates it would help them.
It may not be for everybody, but for a serious athlete, it is a must.
