Trackman Files (Hitting): 2026 Upperclass Top Prospect Games

June 18, 2026
Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

New Orleans, LA - On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to the University of New Orleans, to host our Upperclass Top Prospect Games, which featured over 90 players in the state's 2027 class.  Each participant went through a pro-style workout that consisted of running a laser-timed 60-yard dash with VALD Performance, defensive evaluations, and batting practice using Trackman Baseball and Blast Motion.  Each pitcher threw 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.
