On June 24, the PBR Wisconsin team started its hefty summer showcase circuit with its annual Underclass Trials event, a showcase targeted for prospects representing graduating classes of 2022, 2023, and 2024. We produced our rapid post-event analysis in the days that followed, inside our Quick Hits and Statistical Analysis posts, and we’re wrapping up our event analysis this week having written scouting reports on each of the event’s prospects.

We began our position-by-position analysis with the event’s catchers, and we’re onto the outfielders today.

This group is comprised of some especially intriguing upside frames and athletes, led by J.T. Kelenic (Catholic Memorial, 2023), who pieced together arguably the day’s best round of batting practice, with some premium right-handed power potential. Fellow 2023 prospect Luke Schuler (St. Joseph) also offers a projectable build with an easy right-handed swing. An uncommitted junior now, Jaicee Foster (Green Bay Southwest) earned a place on Team Select at this summer’s Future Games with the help of his performance here, one in which he launched the farthest contact of the showcase.

Check out their scouting reports in full below, as well as the rest of the outfielders who took reps at this event back in June.
