Trackman Files (Hitting): 2026 Lake Charles Summer ID

May 28, 2026
Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

Moss Bluff, LA - On Tuesday, May 26, 2026, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled Sam Houston High School, home of the back-to-back Division I (Non-Select) State Champions, to host our first event of the summer with our Lake Charles Summer ID, which featured over 40 players in the state's 2027-2029 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 and Blast Motion.  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 metrics from Tuesday's event.
