2023 ROSTER

Our staff is very excited for the first-ever Eau Claire Preseason ID, and honestly, it is long overdue as this area consistently produces some of the top-talent in the Badger State. Despite this being a brand new event multiple high follow names are set to attend on Saturday. 

CIF Leo Lauscher (Eau Claire Memorial, 2024) was a recent addition to this event's roster and he is certainly someone our staff is excited to get an updated look at. Listed at a stout 5-foot-10, 250-pounds, Lauscher moves well as he registered a 7.19 time in the 60-yard dash in front of our staff before. Lauscher really shines at the plate where he registered some of the loudest contact during last year's entire winter circuit, regardless of class.

LHP/1B Warren Bowe (Cadott, 2025) created some buzz for himself across the summer circuit and he earned a spot inside our 2025 rankings board as a result. During the summer, Bowe was in attendance at the Western Wisconsin Open which took place at this same Valley Sports Academy and there Bowe put together a solid performance, registering a max EV of 94.2 mph which was among the highest of the day. Also, we have heard many positive things about Bowe as a pitcher and we are excited to see him on the mound during Saturday’s event.

1B/RHP Chase Watkins (Eau Claire North, 2024) popped in front of our staff during the summer’s Badger State Games, where he stood out despite playing against older competition. Standing at a projectable 6-foot-2, 185-pounds we have seen Watkins sit in the low-80s with his fastball from a clean delivery and also spin in a breaking ball in and around the zone. After a full offseason of training under his belt, we are excited to see the gains that Watkins has made to his game.

Perusing the event roster, we’re set to meet a majority of players who’ve not yet attended a PBR showcase, and we’re eager to add more names to our follow lists.

EVENT CHECK-IN PROCESS
