Prep Baseball Louisiana released its data compilation for the year on Wednesday detailing metrics gathered across statewide showcases, scout days, and tournaments.

Led by Alex Armand, the organization announced a series of statistical leaderboards pulling from twelve months of tracking data. Armand said that the staff conducted a thorough review of every metric collected throughout the year to build the comprehensive leaderboards.

The numbers were captured using Trackman Baseball technology at numerous events across the state. The evaluation slate featured Preseason IDs, Rising Stars IDs, Summer Opens, Fall IDs, and Scout Days at various high schools.

Invite-only showcases also fed data into the 2026 leaderboards, including the Future Games, Senior Future Games, Top Prospect Games, Senior Games, and State Games. The comprehensive rollout covers statistical categories recorded across the entire event calendar.
