Ruston, LA - The North Louisiana Rising Stars ID was held on Tuesday June 4, 2024, at Louisiana Tech University.  This was our third Rising Stars ID event of the summer and consisted of prospects from the 2028-2029 classes.  

Today, with the help of one of our tech partners, Trackman Baseball, we continue our post-event coverage with a closer look at the top Trackman metrics and data from the position players in attendance at our North Louisiana Rising Stars ID.

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.

 

EXIT VELOCITY (AVG.)

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.
