Trackman Files (Hitting): 2026 E.D. White Scout Day
January 21, 2026
Thibodeaux, LA - On Monday, January 19, 2026, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled E.D. White High School to host our second Scout Day of the new year, which featured prospects from E.D. White High School in the 2026-2029 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 some of the top Trackman hitting metrics from Monday's event.
