Kellen
Pluess

Uncommitted; currently ranked No. 67 in the state. Strong 5-foot-10, 190-pound frame with room to add. Really looked the part all weekend beginning in the workout with a loud round of BP maxing out 97.8 mph off the bat with some bat speed sticking out averaging 70.6 mph. Showcased a strong arm and athletic actions on the dirt topping at 87 mph and running a 6.9 in the 60 yard dash. In the box it’s a fluid lefty swing that stays in the zone and gets on plane in order to drive the ball with authority. During the gameplay portion of the event he backed up his round of BP in gameplay with multiple balls batted 90+. Plenty of upside from the East Troy product that established himself as a clear follow in the Badger State following a strong spring and summer circuit. N2K.

Pluess went 5-for-10 at the plate with three walks, one triple, and 10 RBIs. He hit three home runs in the season opener against Whitewater, including one inside-the-park home run.
