Moss Bluff, LA - On Tuesday, May 27, 2025, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to Sam Houston High School, to host our second Rising Stars event of the year, which featured prospects from the 2029 & 2030 classes.  Our series of Rising Stars events serves as an identifier for our Junior Future Games team each summer.  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.  Pitchers finished the day off by throwing a bullpen with Trackman Baseball to receive all of their data and metrics.  Below, we take a look at some of the top hitting metrics obtained via Trackman Baseball from Tuesday's event.
