Baton Rouge Preseason ID - Stats Story


Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

Zachary, LA - The Baton Rouge Preseason ID was held on Saturday, January 14th at Zachary High School in Zachary, LA. This event consisted of prospects from the 2023-2026 classes.  These players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more.  Pitchers were able to throw bullpens during the workout and will receive data and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more.  There were familiar faces who continued to show well and newcomers who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Saturday.

Continuing off our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at some of the leaders in each statistical category recorded from the showcase.  Please continue to check back over the next couple of weeks, as we will release individual scouting reports on each player present at the event.
