On March 13, the PBR Wisconsin team hosted the annual Madison Preseason ID, at GRB Baseball Academy in Windsor, Wis. This was an open event for all high school classes (2022-25) and gave our staff an ample look at the area's top players.

On Wednesday we published our biggest takeaways and highlights from Sunday’s showcase within our Quick Hits story. Today, we’ll dive right into the statistical side of things, analyzing Sunday’s top performers from several different statistical categories. Throughout the rest of this week, we’ll be diving deeper into all of the data we collected, too, with the help of our Blast Motion and TrackMan devices.

TOP 60 TIMES

+ OF River Lindsey (Muskego, 2023), and OF Ryan Drumm (Edgewood, 2023; Butler commit), ended up running the same time of 6.59 - which tied for the event lead. INF Logan Kraus (Fond du Lac, 2023) is a highly athletic uncommitted junior that ran his fastest 60-yard dash time to date, clocking a 6.71 on our lasers in his workout.

TOP FASTBALL VELOCITY

+ One of the top arms in the state, RHP Cole Selvig (Regis, 2023; Texas) had the hardest bullet from the bump. Selvig, currently ranked No. 352 nationally, showed a slight uptick in velocity, with every fastball being 91-plus mph. Behind Selvig is another prospect who has earned a national ranking, RHP Noah Wech (Manitowoc Lincoln, 2024), with his hardest fastball thrown at 90.4 mph with some high spin traits. Teammate of the aforementioned Drumm during the Future Games, RHP Noah Dreier (Brookfield Central, 2023) had the third hardest fastball of the event at 88.7 mph.

MAX EXIT VELOCITY

+ C Joshua Gilroy (Arrowhead, 2024) had not only had the hardest-hit ball of Sunday’s event but the hardest-hit ball out of all our Preseason ID events thus far at 102.7 mph, a truly impressive number from the uncommitted sophomore. Following Gilroy was OF Luke Heinkel (Brookfield East, 2023). From the left-handed batter's box, Heinkel used his sturdy 6-foot-1, 210 pound frame to generate exit speed up to 100.9 mph. The third hardest-hit ball during Sunday’s event came from INF Leo Lauscher (Eau Claire Memorial, 2024), who put together a solid round of BP and recorded the event's farthest hit baseballs (386 feet max). 

MAX INFIELD VELOCITY

+ While Wech impressed on the mound, he showcased his two-way potential during the infield portion of Sunday’s event. Wech is an athletic mover in the infield dirt with a strong arm, one that topped out at 89 mph across the diamond, which makes him a viable left side of the infield type player. Following Wech was another name who had a solid overall day, INF Jack Shepski (Waunakee, 2023), topping out at 88 mph on his throws to first. Another potential two-way prospect, Dreier’s arm strength translates well from mound to the infield, recording the third hardest throw from the infield at 87 mph. 

MAX OUTFIELD VELOCITY

+ Recent Future Game participant, OF Quinn Falish (De Pere, 2023) led all outfielders in outfield velocity, topping at 93 mph. At a physical 6-foot-2, 195 pounds Falish moves well for his size, coupling it with impressive arm strength, adding to his stock as he remains uncommitted. OF Garrett Kay (Waterford Union, 2023) is another uncommitted name to know going into the spring. Kay was able to show his innate arm speed during the outfield defense portion, topping out at 91 mph. Drumm added to his already impressive day by also throwing 91 mph on his hardest throw to home during his defensive workout.

MAX CATCHER VELOCITY

+ C Maxwell Kalk (Kimberley, 2023) had the hardest throw from behind the plate, topping at 79 mph. C Samuel Mommer (St. Thomas More, 2024) followed, throwing 77 mph on his hardest throw down to second. Gilroy, Tyler White (Cedarburg, 2023), and Cal Casper (Bay Port, 2024) tied, reaching a 76 mph high from the chute. 

TOP POP TIMES

+ The aforementioned Casper had the fastest pop times of the event and some of the quickest we have seen all winter, with his lowest being 1.93. Following Casper was Kalk, whose quickest was 2.00 flat. Next was Gilroy, whose quickest time was 2.03, an improvement since our staff last saw him back in July of 2021.
