Week 7 of the 2024 high school baseball season is now complete, and throughout last week, our staff was able to get out and see several new teams and prospects. Today, we continue our coverage of the 2024 high school season with our updated Scout Blog.  The Louisiana Scout Blog provides insider information and scouting notes from our scouting staff during the high school baseball season. This running blog will feature information on underclass prospects, unsigned seniors, draft prospects, and anything else that is notable.  We will provide a wide range of information, including player evaluations, velocities, pop times, home to first times, and more. 

Continue to check back here, as our Louisiana Scouting Staff will add scouting reports, upon the completion of each week.

FRIDAY APRIL 5, 2024

+ 2026 RHP Mills Richardson (Catholic BR HS)

6'1" 160 lbs. with some projection still left.  We had the chance to see the two-time former Jr. Future Gamer last Friday in a JV relief outing against Barbe, and we're definitely glad that we decided to go to the game.  Richardson came in relief in the 5th inning and came out attacking hitters, at a quick and up-tempo pace, with a 84-87 mph FB, which was a personal best.  This wasn't a typical Barbe JV lineup either, as there were 3-4 guys in the lineup last Friday, that are everyday starters on the varsity.  He did an exceptionally good job at locating his heater to his glove-side and at the bottom of the zone and the pitch showed some late tailing life through the zone.  Heading into the summer, Richardson is definitely a 2026 for college coaches to circle as a guy to see.
