Opening Day of the 2026 high school baseball season kicked off on Monday, February 9, 2026 and our staff couldn’t wait to get back out to the field. Week 1 featured several big-time matchups across the state, and today we continue our coverage with the launch of the 2026 Louisiana Scout Blog. This running blog will offer insider information and scouting notes from our team throughout the season, highlighting underclass prospects, unsigned seniors, draft prospects, and other noteworthy performances. Expect detailed player evaluations, including velocities, pop times, home-to-first times, and more.

Be sure to check back regularly, as our Louisiana scouting staff will update the blog with new reports at the end of each week.
