POSITION PLAYERS

+ OF Keyton Kilian (Fond du Lac, 2026) was perhaps the biggest winner coming from Monday’s event in Sheboygan. Standing at a lean and athletic 5-foot-11, 161-pound frame with plenty of room to add strength to the frame. At the plate the left-handed hitter swung a quick and handsy bat showing feel for the barrel throughout his round of BP driving the ball on a line through the middle of the field. Kilian reached a max exit velocity of 90.3 mph throughout the round averaging 84.1 mph throughout. Defensively Kilian moved with ease showing confident and athletic actions in the outfield, looking like a capable defender at each spot in the outfield with arm strength up to 83 mph. Kilian is an uncommitted name to know heading into his final year as a prep.

+ INF Logan Michaels (Random Lake, 2026) Is a strong right-handed hitter that was on the barrel throughout his round using the middle of the field. Standing in at 5-foot-10, 186-pounds with strength throughout the frame Michaels made consistent hard contact averaging an exit velocity of 91.2 mph throughout his round with a peak of 97.7 mph. Defensively the infielder plays with steady actions and some range to both sides with an accurate arm up to 75 mph.

+ C Tanner Schneider (Mayville, 2028) is a strong and athletic 6-foot, 180-pound right-handed hitting catcher that was a winner from Monday’s event in Sheboygan. At the plate Schneider showed feel for the barrel with consistent elevated contact to all fields, including a ball the left the yard to left field.

TWO-WAYS/PITCHERS

+ OF/RHP Cole Kuhn (Plymouth, 2027) is a strong and long levered 6-foot, 190-pound right/right two-way outfielder. At the plate the right-hander swings a strong bat with leverage when he impacts the baseball out in front. Reaching a max exit velocity of 91.9 mph throughout the round with consistent line drive contact to right center field. Defensively Kuhn showed arm strength that plays with life out of the hand at 85 mph with steady actions and hands. On the mound the right-hander showed a lively fastball up to 81 mph with backspin carry out of the hand averaging 19.7” of IVB from a higher slot. Showing a tight downer breaking ball out of the same window at 70-74 mph while flashing both a changeup and a cutter to round off his arsenal.

+ RHP Cameron Norwood (West De Pere, 2028) will be an arm to follow in the coming years. He’s a loose and clean mover with an athletic arm to pair, and he should continue to make velocity gains as he matures and fills out his 6-foot, 156-pound frame. The fastball played clean out of the hand with natural run in the 78-80 mph range, averaging 2,300 rpm and nearing 2,400 rpm at times. He paired a short, lateral breaking cutter with true action off the fastball, playing in the low-70s. He showed feel for his curveball with depth and some sweeping action at times, landing it in the zone consistently with 11/5 shape at 64-65 mph. He completed his arsenal with a heavy-running sinker, acting more like a changeup in the low-70s.

+ INF/RHP Reed Rogers (Waupaca, 2028) provided some intrigue on both sides of the ball. On the mound, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound right-hander has present arm-strength with a fastball up to 79 mph, showing carry traits with an IVB up to 20”. He also flashed a sweeping curveball with over 16” of horizontal break at times in the mid-60s. At the plate the right-handed hitter took a loud round of batting practice reaching a max exit velocity of 96.3 mph using the middle of the field throughout.
