Destrehan, LA - On Wednesday, December 18, 2024, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to the Destrehan High School, to host our last event of the year and our first-ever High School Scout Day, which featured Destrehan prospects in the 2025-2028 classes.  Each participant went through a pro-style workout that consisted of running a laser-timed 60 yard dash, defensive evaluations, and batting practice using Trackman Baseball.  Pitchers were able to throw live against hitters with Trackman Baseball to receive all of their pitching data and metrics.  Below, we take a look at some of the top hitting metrics captured by Trackman Baseball from Wednesday's event.

Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of contact.

 

PEAK ESTIMATED BATTED DISTANCE (HITTING)

Distance: This metric measures the estimated “carry flat” distance, measured in feet, meaning the distance that the ball travels before it lands, or would have landed if it were not caught or obstructed.
