The Louisiana Top Prospect Games was held on June 13th at the University of Louisiana - Lafayette. This was an invite-only event that consisted of prospects from the 2024-2026 classes. All players in attendance went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast, the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw simulated innings during game play and were able to receive their numbers and metrics off of Trackman, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more.  

We continue our post-event coverage with a look at our scouting reports from the event. Next, taking a look at all infielders who attended the event.
