Louisiana Senior Games: Infielder Reports


PBR Louisiana Staff

Eunice, LA - The PBR Louisiana Senior Games were held on Saturday, September 16, 2023, at LSU-Eunice, home of the 7-Time NJCAA DII National Champions.  The event consisted of uncommitted prospects from Louisiana's 2024 class.  All players in attendance went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast, the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more.  Pitchers were able to throw live against hitters and were able to receive their numbers and metrics off of Trackman, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more.  There were several college recruiters on hand for the event and there have already been several prospects who've received offers since Saturday.

We continue our post-event coverage as we break down the scouting reports from the event, first we look at all infielders who attended the Louisiana Senior Games.
