Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+

Iowa Western CC commit. It was more of the same on the mound for Plog in the 2024 season, as the left-hander added another All-State award to his resume after being on the First Team in 2023. Plog pitched to a 4-2 record in 2024, but that didn’t tell the entire story. The southpaw tallied 73 strikeouts in 39.1 innings pitched—allowing four earned runs during the season to maintain his status as one of the top performers in the 2024 class. Plog earned one no-hitter during the 2024 season, in addition to his four complete games and two one-hitters. He was dominant every time he took the mound, all while taking on the role of closer, too. Plog racked up two saves during the season—showcasing his versatility for the Pirates and their pitching staff. After a storied prep career, Plog now takes his talents to the next level as an intriguing left-hander.
Iowa Western CC commit, Plog has been one of the top performers in the WIAA for the last two springs and continued his success against Sheboygan North. In the start Plog tossed six innings allowing no hits and no walks while striking out 14 total batters.
Uncommitted. Plog was a key piece in Bay Port’s 3-1 win over Manitowoc Lincoln. On the mound Plog tossed a complete game allowing one unearned run and a hit while striking out 10 batters.
Uncommitted. Plog led Bayport to a win in his complete game against Pulaski. During his start he struckout 11 batters while allowing a hit and a walk while maintaining a 67% strike rate throughout his start.
Making his PBR showcase debut, LHP Ethan Plog (Bay Port, 2024) is a name who our staff had been familiar with already prior to Saturday, as he’d previously shown well in live game settings across the summer’s tournament scene. Standing at a projectable 6-foot, 165-pounds, the southpaw features an uptempo, drop-and-drive delivery and he works in-line to home. His low ¾ arm slot helps him create a max of 17.1 inches of horizontal break on his fastball that topped at 86 mph, and sat in the 83-85 range. As for his offspeeds, is still developing some feel on a 1/7 breaking ball but he is able to spin it in the 2,200 rpm range, which is above-average. His best secondary is a changeup and he showed confidence in it as it played with late fade/depth.

Vizual Edge: 54.24 Edge Score
Projectable arm coming in at 6-foot 160-poounds. Simple, easy drop and drive delivery that has some funk to it. Featuring two pitches that produce swings and misses often, fastball 79-81 mph, and a breaking ball 70-73 mph. Through 5.2 innings he collected 11 strikeouts while only giving up two hits, four walks, and zero earned runs.
