EVENT HISTORY
We've been hosting this event for the past three years, and it's consistently provided us a look at prominent players who've later gone on to receive invitations to select events, like the PBR Future Games.
Last year, our top performers were OF/RHP Trevor Vande Hey (Wrightstown, 2025; Iowa), RHP/OF Tavian Ramos (Cornell Neenah, 2024; Cornell), RHP/SS Matthew Hietpas (Appleton North, 2026), 3B/RHP Sam Abrahamson (Hudson, 2026; University of St. Thomas), OF/RHP Carson Hawley (Bay Port, 2026), RHP Loren Georger (Appleton West, 2025; St. Louis), RHP/1B Nick Hirsch (Hudson, 2025), SS/2B Zachary Grossmann (Evangel Christian School, 2025; Wisconsin-Whitewater), SS/RHP Brayden Steinbecker (Manitowoc Lincoln, 2025; St. Cloud State University), C/OF Dimitry Edmunds (Appleton West, 2025; Colorado Mesa University). We're looking forward to checking in on the next crop of talent from this event to earn next-level attention in the coming weeks, months, and years.
2025 ROSTER
This year's roster is already shaping up nicely, just like in years past.
LHP/OF Bergen Aune (Hudson, 2026) stands at an athletic and projectable 6'1", 167 pounds. Aune has one of the higher ceilings for a left-hander in the '26 class, an athletic and loose arm action with feel for mulitple pitches. With reports of an uptick in velo, our staff is eager to see how he performs on Saturday.
RHP Braylon Brantner (Hortonville, 2026) stands at a proportionate, athletic, and projectable 5'9", 160 pounds. He is athletic, repeatable, and simple in his delivery toward the plate, pushing off the rubber with intent. He displays a full arm arc and quick arm action. Brantner throws a firm 86 mph fastball, complemented by a sharp curveball that he has a natural feel for.
3B/1B John Zeamer (Waupaca, 2026) displays a strong 6'2", 206-pound frame. At the plate, his hands are low and relaxed, staying on time. His swing is short and simple, with the ability to elevate the ball from pull-side to the middle of the field. In the field, he shows steady, confident hands that work out front, with an arm that possesses life. Strength is evident in the box, the ball jumps off the barrel reaching a max exit velo of 98 mph in the past.
Perusing the event roster, we’re set to meet a majority of players who’ve not yet attended a PBR showcase, and we’re eager to add more names to our follow lists.
EVENT CHECK-IN PROCESS
Because of the high number of prospects set to attend Saturday’s event, it is imperative that you read our adjusted showcase itinerary below, which will allow our staff to swiftly and efficiently educate and evaluate the players set to attend.
