ABOUT ONDECK MEASUREMENTS
In fastpitch softball, OnDeck Measurements (ODM) is the recognized authority in objective measurables – comprehensive raw softball athletic data. Individual objective scores and the corresponding Allister Index (AI), have become the most important objective statistical measurements in player assessment, self-evaluation, and player development.
The Allister Index
This is a measurable snapshot of a player’s softball athleticism. The number is generated from the individual’s scores and put into a proprietary algorithm, giving players clear, tangible and achievable goals.
