No. 3 Jarred Kelenic

Jarred KelenicJarred Kelenic (Waukesha West, 2018) comes in as the third most viewed profile in Wisconsin. Kelenic first came on the PBR radar as an eighth grader at the Madison Preseason ID Showcase and impressed with his natural athletic ability. He committed to Louisville in December of last year, making him the second commit in the Wisconsin 2018 Class. Kelenic had a monster year in 2015 where he made himself into a national prospect. He was arguable the best hitter at the Inaugural PBR Badger State Battle this summer where he played for the Rawlings Hitters. With almost 6,000 profile clicks this year, Kelenic saw steady action on his profile all year long.
