Lake Charles Summer ID: Scouting Reports (Position Players)


Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

The Lake Charles Summer ID was held on Sunday May 19, 2024 at Barbe High School.  This was an open event that consisted of high school prospects in the 2025-2028 classes and served as an identifier for our Future Games and Jr. Future Games teams this summer, as well as any of our future invite-only events, such as the Top Prospect Games and the State Games.  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 bullpens and received their metrics off of Trackman, which include data points such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more.  

Today, we take a look at the scouting reports for the position players who were in attendance.
