Prep Baseball Report

Freshmen Free Showcase: Stats Breakdown



Trey Sofio
Louisiana Scouting Director

The Freshmen Free Showcase took place on Sunday, September 10th, at St. Thomas Aquinas high school, in Hammond, LA. The open event saw forty 2021 graduates, and younger prospects, perform a pro-style workout in front of dozens of the Prep Baseball Report scouting staff.

Sunday’s Freshmen Free Showcase was a quality look at dozens of promising young prospects from the state of Louisiana. Although it’s still extremely early, the recruiting process has significantly sped up in the recent past, evidence by Louisiana’s first 2021 graduate making his verbal pledge to LSU this past weekend. Regardless, the future of Louisiana high school baseball looks to be strong.

Today, our scouting staff takes a look at a few of the top statistical performers from Sunday’s Freshmen Free Showcase.

A complete recap of the event will be coming in the following weeks.
