Hammond, LA - On Sunday, September 8, 2024, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff traveled to the Southeastern Louisiana University, to host our second open event of the fall for our Southeast Louisiana Fall ID.  Each participant went through a pro-style workout that consisted of running a laser-timed 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, defensive evaluations, and batting practice using Trackman Baseball and Blast Motion.  Pitchers finished the day off by throwing a bullpen with Trackman Baseball to receive all of their data and metrics.  Below, we take a look at the top Trackman hitting metrics and data from the event.
