The open showcase is geared towards all uncommitted 2017 graduates, and will include several colleges in attendance. Over 30 schools were in attendance at last year’s event. Over the last eight years this event has been a staple of the Prep Baseball Report schedule.

Last year’s event featured a number of impressive prospects. 45 players at last year’s event ended up committing to colleges following the showcase.

The Top Overall Prospect from last year’s event was 6-foot-2, 195-pound, right-handed pitcher Anthony Laughlin (Gibraltar, WI), who was an unknown heading into the event. After showing off a quick, short arm and fastball in the mid 80’s he committed to Hill JC in Texas. Jon-Anthony Caban (St. Thomas More, WI) was another right-handed pitcher from Wisconsin who showed well and committed to Madison JC.

No. 44 ranked Nathan Hefle (Germantown) is the highest ranked Wisconsin player on the roster. Hefle features a fastball that he has run up to 88 mph in the past. He recently showed better command of his repertoire this past fall. 

Another player to keep an eye on is Tyler Flamme (Wisconsin Heights). Flamme had an excellent showing at the Western Wisconsin Open this past summer. He is a 6.95 runner and shows strength thru contact with 92 mph exit velocity from a tee.
