March 4, 2025
By: Wisconsin Scouting Staff

On March 1st, Prep Baseball Wisconsin hosted its latest event along the 2025 winter showcase circuit, the annual Green Bay Preseason ID took place at Impact Sports Academy in De Pere, WI. Around 100 players made it out to this event, providing us with updated looks and a new list of prospects to follow in an area of Wisconsin that regularly produces some of the state’s top talent.

Today, we’ll be highlighting the players who stood out in Green Bay within this Quick Hits piece. Stay tuned throughout the week as we continue to break down the in-depth metrics measured at this event, with the help of our tech partners TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift, and Vizual Edge.

POSITION PLAYERS

Class of 2025

+ OF Trevor Vande Hey (Wrightstown, 2025; Iowa commit) proved again why he is one of the top players in the state of Wisconsin for the 2025 class. This updated look at the tooled up prospect was tremendous in terms of both how athletic his frame looked and in terms of his eye-popping metrics. The 6-foot, 208 pound senior outfielder started off his day by running one of the best 60 yard dash times of the event at 6.72 seconds and jumped one of the best vertical jump marks of the event at 27 inches. His outfield defensive look remains special with how easy the ball jumps out of his hand at 92 mph which was the best outfield velocity of the day. Vande Hey then took the option to hit using a wood bat and the ball was coming off extremely loud with a max exit velocity of 102 mph (94 mph avg.) and he launched a ball 373 feet. He did a tremendous job of controlling his barrel through the baseball and creating backspin throughout his round and it’s something we’ve grown accustomed to seeing. Vande Hey’s overall athleticism provides such a high ceiling for the University of Iowa commit that it wouldn’t surprise anyone if he gets some draft buzz this coming July.

+ C Marek Wawrzyniakowski (Catholic Memorial, 2025; UW-Stevens Point) made a nice statement with his performance on Saturday both with the glove and with the bat. The senior UW-Stevens Point commit measured at 5-foot-11, 192 pounds with an athletic build and strength throughout. Wawrzyniakowski really impressed with his catcher defense. His 1.94 seconds pop time was an event best and he was consistently putting the ball on the bag from a quick release. With the bat, the right-handed hitter was hitting rockets to all fields and registered an impressive 99 mph max exit velocity with a 92 mph average. Marek Wawrzyniakowski is ready to lead Catholic Memorial’s talented group from behind the plate in his senior year and our staff will be sure to keep a close eye on his performance.

class of 2026

+ INF John Zeamer (Waupaca, 2026) is a strong corner infield with an explosive right-handed bat. The strong 6-foot-2, 212-pound hitter took a standout round of BP, a fluid swing geared to lift the ball in the air with leverage. Loud contact throughout the round, reaching a max EV of 101 mph throughout his round with an average in the low-90s. Defensively Zeamer is a quality mover for his size with smooth actions and range, with a quick and easy arm up to 82 mph.

+ C Gavin Levin (Homestead, 2026) was one of the biggest winners of the day with his performance behind the plate and with the bat. Levin showcased a serious knack for the barrel during batting practice and was able to drive the baseball throughout his round. With the glove, Levin turned in an impressive round of defense, Levin was throwing seeds right on the bag at 1.94 seconds and recorded an impressive 79 mph throwing velocity from the crouch. Levin also displayed soft hands and a confident demeanor behind the plate during bullpen work. Levin continues to perform and has planted himself firmly on our staff’s radar going forward.

+ INF Liam Stoffel (Kewaskum, 2026) is a lean 6-foot, 168-pound left-handed hitting infielder. Clear and obvious room left in the frame and the athleticism has ticked up over the past year. At the plate, the lefty took a controlled and natural round of BP, with fluidity and balance throughout the swing. Feel for the barrel was evident throughout the round, consistently on the barrel with rising line drives through the middle of the field. Defensively the infielder showed to be a quality defender with some arm strength up to 81 mph.

+ OF Mark Williams (Sheboygan North, 2026) popped up as a follow bat to monitor from the weekend. The athletic 5-foot-10, 186-pound outfielder also showed present strength while being one of the top athletes at the event. Williams started the day running a 6.91 60 yard dash before taking a quality round of BP, showing an overall fluid and more natural right-handed swing from his previous looks. Reaching a 96.3 mph max exit velo on the day while showing overall feel for the barrel throughout the round. Defensively, the outfielder showed natural actions with arm strength up to 83 mph during the event. Williams is a name-to-know in the Badger State moving forward.

+ OF Jackson Skorr (Appleton North, 2026) is a name we continue to be impressed with especially with what the junior was able to do with the bat on Saturday. Skorr hit with a loose and fluid swing and produced the 6th highest max exit velocity of the day at 97 mph and hit a ball and averaged a solid 89 mph average exit velocity. He also showed some athleticism by running a 7.09 seconds 60 yard dash. Skorr remains on our radar and he seems poised for a big spring and summer.

+ INF Matt Schoenfeldt (Whitefish Bay, 2026) is a sweet swinging middle infielder who put on display during batting practice with his round on Saturday. He registered a max exit velocity of 93 mph and was hitting line drives throughout his round. Schoenfeldt also showcased clean actions and feet during defensive work. The wiry built junior should add size and strength to his 6-foot-2, 176 pound frame which make him an intriguing prospect in the state.

+ MIF/OF Tristin Hundt (Sheboygan North, 2026) had a solid day with the bat and the glove and proved to our staff why he is a top 100 player in the state for the class of 2026. Hundt was hitting line drives throughout his round of hitting with an efficient path with strong hands. The left-handed hitter registered a max exit velocity of 94 mph and a solid average exit velocity of 89 mph. On defense, the utility player showed off solid arm strength from the outfield up to 86 mph. In the infield, Hundt displayed a quick first step, soft hands, and smooth actions working through his groundball work. It was a notable day from the junior who is poised for an impactful spring and summer season.

+ This is the first viewing of OF Alex Hoff (St Croix Falls, 2026) in a showcase setting since 2022 and we are glad he decided to show off the jump he made with the bat. Hoff hit with a smooth and fluid left handed stroke throughout his round and registered some of the loudest contact of the event. His 97 mph max exit velocity was the 5th best number at the event and his 90.4 mph average exit velocity was 4th best which exemplifies his ability to stay on the barrel throughout his round. It was a notable effort from Hoff on Saturday and our staff will monitor his performance and development going forward.

+ OF Sam Manchester (Hudson, 2026) continues to be a name we like in the state after the solid performance on Saturday. Manchester started his day by running one of the top 60 yard dash times of the event at 6.90 seconds which is down from the 7.07 seconds 60 yard dash time we viewed at the Eau Claire Pre Season ID a couple of weeks ago. Manchester also saw his max exit velocity tick up a bit by using his strong hands to get through the baseball consistently throughout his round. The 94 mph max EV mark is notable and will likely keep ticking up as the junior keeps getting stronger.

+ INF/OF Gavin Pusick (Coleman, 2026) ran one of the best 60 yard dash times of the event at 6.91 seconds displaying quick burst off the line and fast turnover once underway. The right-handed hitters also hit consistent line drives through the back of the cage and registered a solid 91 mph max exit velocity. Additionally, Pusick displayed athletic actions during infield and outfield work.

The right-handed hitter measured at a strong and sturdy 6-foot-6, 225 pounds with serious strength in his frame throughout. He hit with a flat bat path and his 96 mph max exit velocity was 9th best for the day.

+ MIF Moxson Kernz (Ashwaubenon, 2026) showed out well on Saturday.

On defense Kernz displayed clean actions with rhythmic feet with accuracy on his throws.

+ This is the first viewing of MIF/RHP Gavin Lax (Luxemburg-Casco, 2026) in a showcase setting for our staff. Lax displayed some athleticism and quality actions during defense and was on the barrel throughout his round of batting practice. He was up to 89 mph max exit velocity and there could be more raw pop in the tank as he adds size and strength physically.

+ C Brodie Allram (St. Croix Falls, 2026) showed out well from behind the plate and at the plate. He was quick and accurate to second base and showcased soft hands during bullpen work with pitchers. He also displayed a flat path during batting practice and produced hard contact up to 92 mph off the bat.

+ This was our first viewing of 3B Nick Fisher (De Pere, 2026) in a showcase setting. The right-handed hitters showed consistency with hard barrel contact throughout his round making his bat an intriguing tool. The swing worked with a handsy and short path through the ball. Our staff will monitor the development going forward.

+ OF Andrew Lindsley (Preble, 2026) showcased feel for the barrel during his round of batting practice. The projectable framed junior was on the barrel throughout his round and was up to 90 mph with his max exit velocity. The left-handed hitting Lindsley is an interesting name considering he will add more size and strength to his frame.

+ OF Matthew Potter (St. Francis Xavier, 2026) recorded a max exit velocity of 91 mph from his short, compact and repeatable right-handed swing. He also ran a respectable 7.20 seconds 60 yard dash and showed some athleticism during defensive work in the outfield.

class of 2027

+ C Arthur Adams V (Bay Port, 2027) is a strong 6-foot catcher with feel for the barrel. During his round of BP, the right-hander took a direct path to the baseball with some feel to elevate the baseball to the middle of the field. Defensively, the arm stood out at 77 mph from the crouch with a quick transfer and direction working towards second, showing overall natural and quality actions behind the dish.

+ OF Eric Paarmaan (Sheboygan North, 2027) is a long limbed right-handed hitting outfielder with clear room left in his wiry frame.

On defense, Silva showed up-the-middle-actions and showed the potential to stick at shortstop. He also ran a solid 7.14 seconds 60 yard dash showing quick burst and quick turnover. Silva is a guy we will monitor going forward after this look at the athletic sophomore.

Schutt showed some skill behind the plate, and our staff loves how Schutt handles pitchers during bullpen work with pitchers. The arm strength will come in the future. Additionally, Schutt’s swing is simple, direct and repeatable with a max EV of 88. Schutt has some upside as he continues to get stronger.

The XXL frame with an extremely strong build with good proportions measured in at 6-foot-4, 240 pounds. He used an explosive delivery down the mound to drive the ball downhill throughout his bullpen session and was up to 91 mph and was sitting 88-90 mph.

+ RHP Bryce Loker (Omro, 2026; South Dakota State) showed exactly why he is a top player in the state of Wisconsin with his performance on Saturday. Loker was measured at 5-foot-11, 159 pounds last July at the Future Games at Lakepoint. He came into this event showing a bit more size and measured in at 6-foot-1, 164 pounds. The right-hander threw an extremely loud pen that displayed a quality three pitch mix with his fastball, curveball and change up. His fastball topped out at 91 mph with downhill angle through the zone to all four quadrants. The fastball set up a nasty late breaking two-plane curveball at 74 mph that he can land in the zone and expand below. His change up pairs well with the fastball out of the same tunnel as the heater and displayed late fade through the hitting zone. Loker, also showcased athleticism with a 7.15 seconds 60 yard dash and smooth actions up the middle on defense in his work as a position player. Loker is going to be an impactful arm at the next level and our staff is excited about what he is going to do this spring and summer seasons.

Peacock displayed a three pitch mix including a fastball with late boring action to right-handers up to 88 mph. His slurvy curveball, when executed, shows swing and miss capabilities with late sweep and tight biting movement through the zone. His change up was also notable as he consistently got through the pitch with conviction. The change up showed big horizontal type fade to arm side and projects as another secondary weapon upper-peninsula resident. We continue to view Lennox Peacock as a prospect and are excited about where the uncommitted junior could potentially land.

+ INF/RHP Colin Reddy (Appleton North, 2026) was one of the biggest winners of the event. Quick arm up to 86 on the mound with late sweep on the slider and a change up that has similar shape and action to the fastball but is 10 mph slower than the sinking heater.

He also deployed a couple of useful breaking balls in his curveball and slider. The slider showed a bigger breaking action with a 10/4 shape and the slider was a shorter and quicker break. Both pitches he landed for strikes. Howe also showcased feel to land a change up that showed some nice depth in the hitting zone. Arrow up for Myles Howe.

His loose, fluid and easy delivery produced a four-seam fastball up to 80 mph with solid carry through the zone and a two-seamer with late boring action to arm side. He also has two different breaking ball that he showed the ability to land for strikes in a curveball and slider. The curve had a 10/4 type shape and break while the slider had more lateral sweep to the pitch. Additionally, the right-hander showed feel for a useful change up. Searin Mueller is a right-handed arm with upside and like the potential the right-hander has on the mound.

His sweeping slider and change up played well off the fastball and he flashed the ability to throw a knuckleball during the session. Our staff is definitely not counting the long and wiry left-hander out as he has a chance to pop once some size and strength come.

A lively fastball that got up to 86.9 mph with life out of the hand, with feel to spin a bigger downer breaking ball off of it, as well as showing feel to locate a changeup in the zone. There’s a lot of upside on the two-way athlete, especially once he starts to mature and fill into his frame. A must-follow athlete in the Badger State’s 2027 class.

+ RHP/INF Owen Reuland (Appleton North, 2027) opened some eyes with the performance he put forth in the bullpen on Saturday. On the mound Reuland drove his four-seam fastball up to 85 downhill through areas of the zone and deployed a late running two-seamer to go with it. He showed the ability to land a breaking ball with 10/4 type shape and break. The change up was the real secondary weapon from Reuland. It showed nasty late running life to arm side and was thrown with fastball intent. It was an impressive look overall on the bump. It shouldn’t be overlooked that Reuland also had a nice day working out as a position player. He produced line drive contact throughout his round with a max exit velocity of 93 mph which is a solid number for the sophomore two-way talent. The long levered projectable righty definitely has some upside and our staff will be tuned into what’s to come this spring for Reuland.

+ RHP/MIF Maddux Hermus (Kimberly, 2027) is a strong 5-foot-10, 189-pound two-way athlete that is also a standout on the football field.

At the plate, from the right-side Hermus took a loud round of BP, looking to elevate to the pull side with leverage out front. Defensively Hermus is a confident defender with sure hands and a quick transfer and an accurate arm up to 84 mph.

The sophomore right-hander was up to 82 mph with the fastball and showcased a sharp slider at 72 mph to pair with the fastball. The slider was Aoki’s best pitch and a potential weapon for both handed hitters. He rounded out his arsenal with a change up down in the zone. Aoki also ran a solid 7.05 seconds 60 yard dash. Additionally, he produced an impressive max exit velocity of 91 mph with the bat and had one of the top throwing velocities of the day at 88 mph from the outfield.

He also deployed a two-seam fastball with some late running action at the plate. He was able to land the breaking ball and deployed a change up with depth and fade.

+ RHP Brady Perrizo (Preble, 2027) measured at 5-foot-11, 148 pounds with good proportions to his frame with projection. Perrizo put together an interesting look on the mound with a three pitch mix that included a fastball in the upper 70’s and two different breaking balls for strikes. There is a chance Perrizo is late to develop physically and once he does he could be a guy who pops. Our staff certainly isn’t counting out the sophomore right-hander with the athletic delivery.

+ RHP Chase Schmitt (Turtle Lake High, 2027) is a strong framed right-hander with some feel on the mound. Schmitt showcased a repeatable delivery and strikes with a two-pitch fastball/slider mix. The fastball was up to 83 and he showed the ability to throw the slider out of the same window.
