Trackman Files (Hitting): 2026 New Orleans Rising Stars Summer ID

July 2, 2026
Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

New Orleans, LA - On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to Tulane University, to host our third rising stars event of the summer with our New Orleans Rising Stars ID, which featured over 20 players in the state's 2030-2031 classes.  Each participant went through a pro-style workout that consisted of running a 60-yard dash, 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 Tuesday's event.
