As Tropical Storm Cindy was bearing down on Southeast Louisiana, the Prep Baseball Report Louisiana Top Prospect Games battled the elements on Tuesday, June 20th, at Nicholls State University in Thibodeaux, LA. The invite only event saw seventy players in the 2018 and 2019 classes perform in front of a dozen of college coaches and the Prep Baseball Report Louisiana scouting staff.

One of only two committed prospects in attendance, Louisiana State recruit, 2019 OF Wes Toups (ED White) showed why he was heavily recruited this spring. Toups posted the top 60-yard dash time of the event with a 6.65, and put together a quality round of batting practice, using the entire field from the left side with a strong, simple, direct bat path. In addition, Toups flashed promise of developing into a premium defender in centerfield, with fluid, athletic actions in the outfield, and quality arm strength with carry on throws, posting a positional velocity of 85 mph.

2019 IF Peyton Lejeune (Teurlings Catholic) created quite a buzz for himself on Tuesday with one of the top all-around performances of the day. Already registered for the Future Games this coming August, Lejeune firmly cemented himself as one to follow in Louisiana’s 2019 class with his performance yesterday. An athletic 6-foot, 175-pound frame, Lejeune showed actions with soft hands, fluid footwork and quality arm strength with carry on throws across, posting an 83 mph positional velocity. A switch-hitter, Lejeune consistently found the barrel during batting practice, showing a line-drive, gap to gap approach with strength at contact and bat speed, posting exit velocities of 90 mph from the left side, and 89 mph from the right side. Additionally, he showed solid athleticism posting a 7.05 60-yard dash.

2018 SS/RHP Matthew Barthelemy (Belle Chase) was another prospect that turned in an impressive all-around performance on Tuesday. A relatively unknown commodity before, Barthelemy showed quality athleticism, and versatility, showcasing as an infielder and outfielder during defensive evaluations, and finished the day on the mound. In addition to showing off his athleticism by posting a 6.79 60-yad dash, he showcased quality arm strength with positional velocities of 90 mph, and 83 mph, from the outfield and infield, respectively. Although still a raw, unfinished product, he possess athleticism and arm strength, which are undoubtedly, attractive qualities when talking about prospects on the mound,

A complete recap of the event will be coming in the following weeks.
