Baton Rouge Preseason ID: Event Preview


Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

Baton Rouge, LA - On Sunday, January 12, 2025, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff will travel to Central BR High School to host our final event of the preseason with our Baton Rouge Preseason ID.  This year's event will feature over 50 prospects from the 2025-2028 classes.  Each participant will go through a pro-style workout that will consist of running a laser-timed 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, defensive evaluations, batting practice using Trackman Baseball and Blast Motion, and pitchers will finish the event off by throwing bullpens with Trackman Baseball.  Below, we take a look at the history of this event and some players that we're looking forward to seeing tomorrow.  

 

EVENT HISTORY

Last year's Baton Rouge Preseason ID saw a total of 16 prospects who ended up committing to play at the next level.  One of those guys, 2025 C Andrew Clapinski, ended up having a monster junior year for the State and National Champion Catholic High Bears.  Clapinski hit at a .396 clip last spring with 6 HR, 14 2B, and 45 RBI.

2025 Baton Rouge Preseason ID Roster

There's a handful of players headed to Central BR this weekend who we've seen before and are excited to get an up-to-date look at, as well as a couple of new faces.  Let's check out a couple of those players below.

Sorrel is the top ranked uncommitted player in the state's 2026 class, which is one of the many reasons why we're excited to see him on Sunday.  The former Future Gamer has already into the low-90's with his FB and we're excited to see the work that he's put in this off-season.

Daigle was named the District MVP as a sophomore in 2023, but unfortunately had to miss a chunk of Brusly's season last spring due to an injury.  Back healthy for his senior campaign, we're excited to see the uncommitted two-way star on Sunday.

The St. Mary's Catholic product was one of the big winners at our State Games event this past fall, and was a recent riser in our 2026 State Rankings update.  Scarborough is an athletic, strike thrower with a mid-upper 80's heater and feel for a sharp 78-80 mph and 79-82 mph CH.
