On March 14, the PBR Wisconsin team hosted the Madison Preseason I.D., at GRB Academy in Windsor, Wis. This was an open event for all high school classes (2021-24), and gave our staff an ample look at the area's top players as, perennially, the largest event on our winter circuit with over 170 players in attendance.

On Wednesday, in our first post-event piece from this event, we published our biggest takeaways and highlights from Sunday’s showcase within our Quick Hits story. Today, we’ll take a look at some of the top performers from a traditional statistical standpoint from the event. Throughout the rest of this week, we’ll be taking diving deeper into all of the data we collected, too, with the help of our Blast Motion and TrackMan devices.

For now, check out which players put up some eye-popping numbers in Madison last Sunday. 

TOP 60-YARD DASH

OF Dominik McVay (Mineral Point, 2022) is one of the more athletic prospects in the state’s junior class and that showed on Sunday. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound McVay comfortably ran the fastest 60-yard of the entire event, showcasing an impact speed tool, clocked at 6.50. Infielders Colin Obermann (Kimberly, 2022) and Ethan Hindle (Arrowhead, 2023) each showcased advanced athleticism for their respective ages, running the second and third fastest times. Another high-end athlete from the state’s 2022 class continues to build his athletic resume: OF Landon Behringer (North Fond du Lac). The 5-foot-11, 165-pound Behringer marginally improved his 60 time from the West Milwaukee Preseason I.D. two weeks ago, clocking in at a 6.69 – a personal PBR best.

MAX FASTBALL VELOCITY

We saw six pitchers record max fastball velocities of over 90 mph on Sunday, led by a former PBR Future Games member LHP/OF Christian Oppor (Columbus, 2022). Still uncommitted, Oppor is a special type of athlete and that shows in multiple aspects on the baseball field. He’s a 6.79 runner in the 60-yard dash, and he registered elite-level Blast Motion swing metrics, all while uncorking a 95 mph high from the outfield which translated to a 92 mph high from the mound – both were event bests.

Right behind him are three power arms that are quickly cementing themselves as high-follow prospects in their respective classes. RHP Caden Capomaccio (Notre Dame Academy, 2022; uncommitted) saw a major uptick in his stuff recently, exclusively sitting at 90-91 mph with his fastball. From the 2023 class, RHP Dylan Questad (Waterford; Notre Dame commit) and RHP Cole Selvig (Regis) also topped out at 91 mph, setting personal bests in front of our staff.

One of the biggest winners from Sunday’s event was RHP Nolan Klug (Menomonee Falls, 2022; uncommitted). The 6-foot-5, 225-pound physical prospect jumped up seven ticks on his max fastball velocity since we last saw him in June, touching 90 mph a couple times in his bullpen. This was our third look at Hortonville RHP Jonah Conradt (2023; Arizona commit) over the last month and the wiry 6-foot-1, 156-pound right-hander continued to impress, touching 90 mph, and technically touching his highest mark by a fraction over those multiple winter looks.

MAX EXIT VELOCITY

As one of the state’s most physical prospects, regardless of class, C Thomas Curry (Arrowhead, 2023) took the loudest round of batting practice on Sunday – and maybe all winter. Curry seemingly didn’t miss a barrel once, consistently pummeling every batted ball into the left-center gap, registering a max exit speed of 100 mph.

Another physical sophomore impressed our staff on Sunday, and at his first-ever PBR event: 3B/RHP Quinn Falish (De Pere). Built at a proportionally strong 6-foot-2, 195-pounds, Falish took a highly physical round of batting practice, and his best batted-ball left his barrel at 97 mph – the third highest mark of the entire event.

Two former PBR Future Games members took noteworthy rounds of BP, that culminated in multiple hard-hit balls: OF Cuyler Zukowksi (Madison La Follette, 2022; Creighton commit) and 3B Davis Hamilton (Sun Prairie, 2022; uncommitted).

The ball simply sounds different off the bat of Zukowski, who recorded multiple batted balls over 90 mph, maxed out at 96 mph, per TrackMan. His natural feel to elevate through contact upgrades his power tool even more and he truly projects as an impact bat at the next level. As for Hamilton, the left-handed-hitting infielder showed advanced barrel control and impact potential too, peppering baseballs to all fields at an average exit speed of 91 mph, maxing out at 96.

MAX INFIELD VELOCITY

OF/INF N.J. Elias (Verona Area, 2022; uncommitted) is a 5-foot-11, 180-pound athlete with some of the loudest tools in the state’s junior class. Elias started his day off by running a 6.75 in the 60-yard dash and quickly followed that up by hitting the second-hardest hit ball of the entire event at 98 mph. He also led all infielders and outfielders in throwing velocity, firing an accurate 91 mph bullet across the diamond in his workout. RHP/INF Theo Zeidler (Bay Port, 2022; uncommitted) touched 91 mph with his fastball a week ago at our Fox Cities Preseason I.D. and translated that arm strength on the infield, tying with Elias for the event lead. Recent Gonzaga commit LHP/1B Matthew Mueller (Brookfield Central, 2022) is a major arrow-up prospect after an impressive all-around performance on Sunday. The 6-foot-5, 190-pound southpaw threw a 90 mph bullet across the diamond from first base in his defensive workout and consistently sat at 86-88 mph with his fastball when he later hopped on the mound. 

MAX OUTFIELD VELOCITY

The aforementioned Elias paced this group of outfielders in max throwing velocity, reaching back and firing a 97 mph laser to home on his first throw. He finished two ticks higher than Oppor, who had four of his five throws travel on a straight, accurate line at 95 mph. There seems to be some serious arm strength attached to the right-handed arm of 5-foot-9, 150-pound OF Garrett Kay (Waterford, 2023), as he topped out at 93 mph from the outfield, but also recorded several 89-plus mph throws home. We’ve long known LHP/OF Michael Carpenter (Arrowhead, 2023) for his work on the mound, but the 6-foot-1, 165-pound thin-levered southpaw fired a 91 mph throw to home in his outfield workout, and he showed more tools elsewhere to improve his overall two-way stock. OF/RHP Patrick Schork (Janesville Craig, 2022) is an all-around intriguing athlete who put up some follow-worthy numbers on Sunday. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Schork ran a 6.94 in the 60-yard dash, topped out at 84 mph on the mound, and maxed out at 90 mph from the outfield. It’s a pretty loud skill-set, and he certainly earned himself a spot on our radar.

MAX CATCHER VELOCITY

TOP POP TIMES

Mentioned above for his brute bat strength, Thomas Curry translates that physicality behind the plate, where he showcased big arm strength from the chute, topping 84 mph. One of the top prospects in the state’s 2023 class, C Maxwell Kalk (Kimberly, 2023), tied C Ethan Graham (Wausau West, 2022) for second place on our leaderboard, each reaching 77 mph highs to the bag.

Despite not having overpowering physical arm strength, C Dominic Kibler (New Berlin West, 2023) recorded the quickest average pop times of the event largely in part to noticeable athleticism and a short, rapid trigger release. Not too far behind him was OF/C Caleb Karll (Madison West, 2023), who’s in a similar boat as Kibler, and works quick from the crouch with clean, accurate actions to pair.
