Lutcher, LA - On Saturday, January 17, 2026, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled the Lutcher High School to host our second Scout Day of the new year with our Lutcher Scout Day, which featured players from Lutcher High 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 the top Trackman hitting metrics from Saturday's event.
