Louisiana Scouting Director
Moss Bluff, LA - On Saturday, January 4, 2025, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to the Sam Houston High School, to host our first event of the preseason, which featured prospects across the state's 2025-2029 classes. Each participant went through a pro-style workout that consisted of running a laser-timed 60 yard dash using Swift 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 take a look at the scouting reports of all the pitchers that were in attendance.
