Trackman Files (Hitting): 2025 Baton Rouge Rising Stars ID

July 6, 2025
Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

Zachary, LA - On Tuesday, July 1, 2025, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to the Zachary Youth Park, to host the final rising stars event on our summer calendar, which featured 20 players from the 2029-2030 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.  Each pitcher also threw a bullpen with Trackman Baseball to receive all of their data and metrics.  Below, we take a look at the top Trackman hitting metrics and data from Tuesday's event.
