2026 5 Star - The Lou Scout Day: Data Dive

August 28, 2026
Eliott Wilk
Central Region Operations Director

On Sunday, August 23rd, the Prep Baseball Missouri staff hosted the 5 Star - The Lou Scout Day at CarShield Field in O'Fallon, MO. This year’s event hosted 49 prospects who participated in the showcase, and we'll begin highlighting the top performers among them. 

Earlier this week, we assembled leaderboards of the more traditional stat categories inside Thursday's Statistical Leaderboards, which you can view here.

Today, we’ll be diving deeper into all of the data that we collected at the event with the help of our partners at TrackMan, using the valuable state-of-the-art technologies that they provide at Prep Baseball showcases.

Here’s a look at the players who recorded some of the most impressive metrics across these many categories.
