Trackman Files (Hitting): 2026 Baton Rouge Rising Stars Summer ID


Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

Zachary, LA - On Tuesday, July 7, 2026, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to the Zachary Youth park, to host our fourth rising stars event of the summer with our Baton Rouge Rising Stars ID, which featured over 25 players in the state's 2030-2031 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 threw a bullpen with Trackman Baseball running to receive all of their pitching data and metrics.  Below, we take a look at the top Trackman hitting data from Tuesday's event.
