PBR All American Game - Team 2024 | Ty Southisene

On Saturday, Sept. 23, Prep Baseball Report is hosting its inaugural High School All-American Game at American Family Field, home of the Milwaukee Brewers. The unique event will feature the nation’s top high school seniors who are set to battle against a roster of the country’s best juniors in Class of 2024 vs. Class of 2025 action, giving pro scouts a unique look at current and future draft classes.

We’ve begun to unveil the event’s participants on our social media channels, and we’ll spotlight those players more closely on our site, too, highlighting past performances and scouting reports from the live looks we’ve gathered on this gifted group throughout the years.

We're highlighting junior outfielder Ty Southisene, Nevada’s top-ranked prospect in the 2024 class and one of the premier infielders in the nation. Southisene has consistently shown his elite level talent and tools on both sides of the ball throughout his high school career, seemingly taking his game to another level each year. Next, he'll take his talents to Milwaukee next month.

PBR's VP of Scouting Shooter Hunt had this to say about Southisene following a standout showing at Area Codes, where he was labeled the Reds "Top Prospect": "It’s nothing new for the Tennessee commit, but Southisene was the catalyst for the Reds all week long. Exceptional plate coverage and pitch recognition paired with a lightning-quick bat allows Southisene the ability to do damage against a plethora of pitches. Stood out among his peers being one of the few players on the week who was able to barrel up 95-plus velocity as well as tying the event-high with six hits. Undersized in a “traditional” sense, Southisene plays much bigger than his 5-foot-9, 165-pound stature, with tremendous bounce and twitch throughout. Effortless mover in the middle infield with butter-smooth hands and an explosive first-step that plays way up on both sides of the ball. Southisene has above-average tools throughout the profile with a high-octane motor, and now put together outstanding performances on the biggest stages of the summer. In a time where stocks can fluctuate greatly, Southisene continues to trend up."

The Inaugural PBR All-American Game has teamed up with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's Vs. Cancer program. Join the cause and support Ty Southisene's fundraising effort ahead of the big event. 

Donations can be made in Ty's name to Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation Vs. Cancer program.
