Trackman Files (Hitting): New Orleans Summer ID
July 7, 2024
New Orleans, LA - On Tuesday, July 2, 2024, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to Tulane University, to host our last event of the summer with our New Orleans Summer ID. This year's event featured over 70 prospects from the 2025-2028 classes. 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 the pitchers finished the event off by throwing bullpens with Trackman Baseball.
Today, with the help of one of our partners, Trackman Baseball, we take a look at the top Trackman hitting metrics from Tuesday's event at Tulane.
