HOST AN OFFICIAL EIS PERFORMANCE DATA COMBINE POWERED BY 4FLAMES
Extra Inning Softball and 4Flames Athletics are proud to partner with tournament directors nationwide to deliver verified metrics combines directly alongside competitive fastpitch events.
Live Leaderboards: Virtual Combine
Immediate visibility into combine performance metrics will be available via QR code, with live leaderboards pinned to our Twitter page during the event for even more exposure. Athletes will compete in a dynamic, data-driven environment, ensuring unmatched recognition and visibility.
The athletes combine metrics, along with unique tournament and combine rankings, will be posted on our website for free, accessible to everyone. What’s more, college coaches can request downloadable reports to easily track top talent.
A Two-Layer Evaluation System
Athletes have the opportunity to be evaluated through two distinct—but equally valuable scoring systems: player rankings specific to the tournament and a combine rankings score, in addition to the collected combine metrics, depending on the package selected at registration.
These unique scores provide an added layer of recruiting visibility and recognition, giving athletes a comprehensive way to stand out to college programs based on both their combine performance and real-game play.
Combine scoring is built on a comprehensive, standardized evaluation system structured across three primary performance categories: Offensive Performance Indicators (OPI), Speed Performance Indicators (SPI), and Athletic Performance Indicators (API).
This model ensures that every athlete is measured consistently and compared meaningfully across all events.
Pitchers and catchers also have the option to be evaluated through additional position-specific metrics beyond OPI, SPI, and API. See more details on position-specific metric scoring below.
| OPI | SPI | API |
|---|---|---|
| Exit Velocity | 10-yard sprint | Broad Jump |
| Bat Speed | 20-yard sprint | Vertical Jump |
| Rotational Med Ball Toss | 40-yard sprint | Grip Strength |
| 5-10-5 agility | Wingspan | |
| Overhand Throw Velocity |
Position-Specific Metric Scoring
In addition to our core performance categories, our Performance Data Combine offers position-specific metric scoring for pitchers and catchers, providing deeper insight into the most critical skills at each position. These advanced measurements allow for a more precise evaluation of performance and enhance recruiting visibility through verified, position-relevant data.

Every participant receives a detailed performance report featuring both an event-specific ranking and a national ranking, allowing for direct comparison across all EIS/4Flames combines. With identical equipment and protocols used at every event, results remain consistent, credible, and highly valuable to college coaches.
