Ruston, LA - On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to Louisiana Tech University to host our third rising stars event of the year, which featured prospects in the 2029 & 2030 classes, and will serve as an identifier for future invite-only events such as our Junior Future Games.  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.  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 the top Trackman Baseball pitching metrics from Tuesday's event.
