It will also sum the data for the entire team and compute team averages. You can use the data sorting feature in Excel to sort the players in any order, such as highest to lowest batting average.

Still, it's nice to have a comprehensive list of skills and drills to choose from when planning practices. Got a skill or drill to add? Contact me!
