The New Orleans Preseason ID was held on Saturday January 6, 2024, at Mike Miley Stadium.  This was our first event of 2024 that consisted of uncommitted prospects from the 2024-2027 classes and will serve as an identifier for our Future Games and Jr. Future Games teams this coming 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 finished the day off by throwing bullpens and were able to receive their numbers and metrics off of Trackman, which included pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more.  

We continue our post-event coverage of the New Orleans Preseason ID by diving into the scouting reports for all of the pitchers in attendance.
