Louisiana Scouting Director

Lafayette, LA - On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, to host our Underclass Top Prospect Games, which featured over 100 players in the state's 2028 & 2029 classes.  Each participant went through a pro-style workout that consisted of running a laser-timed 60-yard dash with VALD Performance, defensive evaluations, and batting practice using Trackman Baseball and Blast Motion.  Each pitcher threw live in game with Trackman Baseball running to receive all of their pitching data and metrics.  Below, we take a look at some of the pitching prospects that caught our eye on Tuesday.
