Before Major League Baseball players take the field, many attend the MLB’s invitation-only Draft Combine.
Held about a month before the draft, this multi-day event gathers top draft-eligible players to showcase their skills through medical exams, strength and conditioning tests, on-field workouts and team interviews. It’s a joint effort between USA Baseball and all 30 MLB teams to evaluate top high school and college talent from across the country.
This year’s Combine ran from June 17 to 21 and featured 322 players, with live coverage on MLB Network.

Before Major League Baseball players take the field, many attend the MLB’s invitation-only Draft Combine.
Held about a month before the draft, this multi-day event gathers top draft-eligible players to showcase their skills through medical exams, strength and conditioning tests, on-field workouts and team interviews. It’s a joint effort between USA Baseball and all 30 MLB teams to evaluate top high school and college talent from across the country.
This year’s Combine ran from June 17 to 21 and featured 322 players, with live coverage on MLB Network.
For the past three years, Dan and Jessica Swinscoe — a father-daughter team from Train2Win Rehab and Performance in Scottsdale — have been part of the expert evaluation staff. They assess each player’s motor control using the Y Balance Test, which evaluates single-leg balance and movement in three planes. Results are shared with all 30 MLB teams, USA Baseball and each athlete competing.
The Swinscoes began working together in Seattle in 2020 before relocating to Arizona. Their expertise in the Y Balance Test and Functional Movement Screen has made them regulars at the Combine and valuable resources for their everyday clients.
“Getting people out of pain is easy. Keeping them out of pain and performing at their best is the real challenge,” says Dan Swinscoe. “These tests help ensure we are challenging people in the best way to rehab and progress them as fast as possible, but also safely.”
Even if someone is not headed to the majors, they can benefit from Train2Win’s all-star care, says Jessica Swinscoe.
“These tools reveal imbalances that might be missed in a traditional exam. They help us reduce pain, prevent injuries, and improve performance,” she said. “We find the root of your pain by evaluating your whole body,” says Dan. “Our custom programs improve flexibility, stability, strength, speed, and more – to keep you off the bench.”
