Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director
Baton Rouge, LA - On Sunday, January 12, 2025, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to the Central BR High School, to host our final event of the preseason, which featured over 50 uncommitted prospectrs 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 and Blast Motion. Pitchers finished the day off by throwing a bullpen with Trackman Baseball to receive all of their data and metrics. Below, we look at the scouting reports for all position players in attendance at the event.
