Hammond, LA - On Sunday, September 8, 2024, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to Southeastern Louisiana University, to host our second event of the fall with our Louisiana Senior Games. This year's event featured over 80 uncommitted prospects from the state's 2025 class and there were over a dozen college recruiters in attendance. Each participant went through a pro-style workout that consisted of running a laser-timed 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, defensive evaluations, batting practice using Trackman Baseball and Blast Motion, and each pitcher was able to face live hitters with Trackman Baseball running to capture their metrics. Today, with the help of one of our partners, Trackman Baseball, we take a look at the top Trackman hitting metrics from Sunday's Louisiana Senior Games.

PEAK EXIT VELOCITY (HITTING)

Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of contact.

AVERAGE EXIT VELOCITY (HITTING)

Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of contact.

PEAK ESTIMATED BATTED DISTANCE (HITTING)

Distance: This metric measures the estimated “carry flat” distance, measured in feet, meaning the distance that the ball travels before it lands, or would have landed if it were not caught or obstructed.

SWEET SPOT%

Sweet Spot percentage: This metric is determined by how often the player produces a batted ball during the session with a launch angle between 8 to 32 degrees.

HARD HIT %

Hard Hit percentage: This metric is determined by the percentage of batted balls that the player produces with an exit velocity of 90 mph or higher.

LINE DRIVE %

Line Drive percentage: This metric is determined by the percentage of line drives hit during a given set of batted ball events. Trackman defines a line drive as any batted ball with a launch angle between 10 and 24.9 degrees.
