Milwaukee Preseason ID: Pitcher Analysis
June 1, 2023
On March 18, the PBR Wisconsin staff traveled to The MOSH in Franklin, WI to host the annual Milwaukee Preseason ID. The event featured over 250 players from the surrounding area, and provided our staff with an ample opportunity to check-in on some of the state’s top high school prospects.
In the week that followed this event, we produced post-event analysis that includes performance highlights inside of our Quick Hits story, a look at the traditional stats measured within our Statistical Analysis piece, batted-ball and swing metrics captured in our Positional Data Dive, and pitch data compiled in our Pitcher Data Dive.
You can learn more about the state-of-the-art technologies featured at our showcases within the hyperlinks above. We began the position-by-position analysis on Monday with the catchers, Tuesday with the outfielders, Wednesday with the infielders and we’ll continue to work around the diamond today with the pitching group. Read below for all of the pitcher scouting reports from the Madison Preseason ID.
