On Feb. 12, PBR Wisconsin hosted its latest event along the 2022 winter showcase circuit, the annual Fox Cities Preseason ID at Players Choice of the Fox Cities in Appleton, Wis. Nearly 50 players made it out to this event, providing us with updated looks and a new list of players to follow in Wisconsin in an area that continues to help us add myriad new names to follow this spring and summer.

Last week we published Quick Hits highlighting the top prospects of the event by class. We also rolled out a Statistical Analysis, bringing you a quick statistical breakdown of the traditional stats recorded at the showcase. We then dove deeper into the data, looking at the pitch metrics and batted-ball recordings from this event inside our TrackMan Files piece. With the help of our Blast Motion sensors, we analyzed the swing metrics in our Blast Motion Board. Lastly, we shared the Edge Score leaderboard provided to us by partners Vizual Edge.

We’re winding down on our post-event analysis from Appleton this week, as we publish scouting reports on each of the players who attended this event, beginning with all of the position players. On Wednesday, we published all of our reports on the position players in attendance. Today, we’re publishing scouting reports on the day’s pitchers. We’ll conclude the coverage of this event on Friday by ranking the best in show from Appleton. Until then, here’s our analysis on the day’s arms.
