The Standard for Elite Defensive Competition
This isn't a showcase. It's a reckoning. Position Wars™ puts the best defensive players in the country against a scientifically structured scoring system — and against each other. Show the world what you're made of.
What is Position Wars™
For too long, defensive excellence went unrecognized. Position Wars™ changes that. Built on the DLX™ Scoring Framework, every rep is measured, every throw is timed, and every decision is graded by a certified judge — fairly and consistently.
Athletes compete position vs. position — shortstops against shortstops, catchers against catchers — through three grueling rounds that escalate in pressure and complexity, all the way to a Championship final.
No politics. No subjectivity. Just performance.
The DLX™ Scoring Framework
First-step explosiveness and anticipation off the pitch.
Ground covered — glove-side, backhand, going back.
Ball security, exchange speed, clean fielding under pressure.
Velocity, accuracy, carry — measured throw by throw.
Correct reads, routing, and situational IQ under time pressure.
Competition Format
Round 1
Seven reps — starting with pure execution, escalating to timed ground balls and a high-stakes Live Runner scenario. An error on Rep 7 caps your round score. Clean play matters from the jump.
Round 2
Glove-side reliability, fly ball tracking, and throwing depth. Reps 4–6 are timed with elite bonuses on the table. Rep 7 is a live runner — highest leverage of the round.
Round 3
This is where seasons are made. Body control, arm strength to first, and execution under cumulative fatigue. Top 2 per position advance. The final scenarios are hidden until competition begins.
Defense wins championships — but only if the right defender is on the field. Position Wars™ is how you prove you're that player.
