Trackman Files (Hitting): Lutcher Scout Day
January 23, 2025
Lutcher, LA - On Saturday, January 18, 2025, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to Lutcher High School, to host our Lutcher Scout Day, which featured Lutcher High prospects from the 2025-2028 classes. Each participant went through a pro-style workout that consisted of running a laser-timed 60 yard dash using Vald Performance, defensive evaluations, and batting practice using Trackman Baseball. Pitchers finished the day off by throwing a bullpen with Trackman Baseball to receive all of their data and metrics. Below, we take a look at the top Trackman hitting metrics and data from Saturday's event.
