Lake Charles Preseason ID - Stats Story


Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

Moss Bluff, LA - The Lake Charles Preseason ID was held on Sunday, January 15th at Sam Houston High School in Moss Bluff, LA.  This event consisted of some of prospects from the 2023-2026 classes.  These players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more.  Pitchers were able to throw simulated bullpens during the workout and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more.  There were familiar faces who continued to show well, as well as newcomers who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Sunday.

Continuing off our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at some of the leaders in each statistical category recorded from the showcase.  Please continue to check back over the next couple of weeks, as we will release individual scouting reports on each player present at the event.
