As we close the book on 2025 and turn our attention to the year ahead, our staff took a deep dive into the numbers—pouring over every metric and data point collected throughout the past twelve months—to assemble a comprehensive series of leaderboards. All of the information featured in these lists was captured by our trusted partners at Prep Baseball Louisiana events, including Preseason IDs, Rising Stars IDs, Summer Opens, Fall IDs, Scout Days, and our invite-only showcases such as the Future Games, Senior Future Games, Top Prospect Games, Senior Games, and State Games. As you’ll see below, several players delivered eye-opening performances that deserved recognition.

Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll roll out each statistical category from our 2025 event slate. Today, with the help of Trackman Baseball, we open the series by highlighting the top max fastball velocities recorded this year.
