Future Prospects Showcase - Madison: Player Analysis


Wisconsin Staff

The PBR Future Prospects Showcase & Educational Camp for the 2023 and 2024 graduating classes took place on April 7 at GRB Academy in Windsor, Wis. Fifty prospects participated in an educational portion as well as a pro-style workout in front of the PBR Illinois/Wisconsin Scouting Staff.

Shortly following the event, we took a look at the statistical analysis from the day and touched on a few of the standouts.

Three pitchers from the class of 2023, Dylan Questad (Waterford), Tyler Lusic (Waterford Union), and Zander Rockow (Thorp) were impressive on the mound and each of them took stand out reps in the outfield as well.

One of the more impressive two-way prospects at the event was 2023 graduate Jackson Hunley (Sun Prairie). Hunley used his 6-foot-1 frame well both in the right-handed batter's box and on the mound. He recorded the day’s hardest exit velocity and was up to 78 mph on the mound.

Roman Trapani (Eau Claire Memorial) has one of the more advanced skill sets in the 2023 class. His fastball touched 80 mph on the mound and his advanced offensive abilities for his age solidified him as one of the event’s best overall performers.

Two backstops, in particular, stood out, both representing the 2023 class: Hunter Szymborski (Brookfield Central) and Jake Olszewski (Germantown). Both recorded the single lowest pop times at the event. Olszewski swings a left-handed bat and has above-average bat speed for his age. As for Szymborski, he is another left-handed hitter who swings a fluid, quick bat.

There were plenty of other standouts from the day and their full reports can be found below.
