Recruiting News Around Michigan

Tyler Bradner (Howell HS) and Ethan Wiskur (Flint Powers Catholic HS) headlines the latest group of players to make commitments.  

Bradner is a good athlete that has the possibility of being a draft pick out of high school if he continues to progress.  We have seen Bradner up to 92 this past summer with a good breaking ball.  Bradner is not a physically imposing player, hovering around 6-foot, but he make up for it with a fast arm and good athleticism. Bradner has committed to play for Eric Laskovy at Kellogg Community College.

Wiskur like Bradner is a hard throwing righty.  In mid July, Wiskur attending the Mid-Michigan Showcase at Dow Diamond and was impressive.  He sat 86-89 mph on the mound and threw plenty of strikes.  The 6-foot-5 Wiskur possesses raw but productive ability and he drew attention from plenty of Division I and Division 2 schools.  Ultimately Wiskur made his decision to attend Hillsdale College for it mix of academics and his potential to play two positions.  

Zak Melcher (Sterling Heights Stevenson HS) committed to Marietta College in Ohio.  Marietta has a strong tradition in their baseball program and compete consistently on a national level.
