The Baton Rouge Fall ID was held on Sunday October 15, 2023 at Catholic (BR) High School.  This was an open event that consisted of high school prospects in the 2024-2027 classes and serves as an identifier for our Future Games and Jr. Future Games teams this coming summer, as well as any of our future invite-only events, such as the Top Prospect Games and the State Games.  All players in attendance went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast, the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more.  Pitchers were able to throw bullpens and received their metrics off of Trackman, which include data points such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more.  

We close out our fall schedule with a dive into the scouting reports from the event by taking a look at the pitchers who were in attendance.
