WI MADISON (1)On Sunday, March 15th, the Prep Baseball Wisconsin staff is hosting the Madison Preseason ID at GRB Academy in De Forest, WI. This is an open event for all high school classes (2026-2029), and gives our staff an ample look at the area's top players.

For a closer look at the showcase details and the technologies we'll have on-site to assist our in-person evaluation for all in attendance, click here. For a complete look at those registered to attend this event, view the most up-to-date version of the roster by clicking here.

EVENT HISTORY

We've been hosting this event for the past 13 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 Prep Baseball Future Games. Among the players in attendance at this event in 2025, there were 36 commitments following the event. 

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.

EVENT CHECK-IN PROCESS

Because of the high number of prospects set to attend Sunday'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.

Additionally, in an effort to continue and develop contactless check-in strategies, upon arrival, players will scan a QR Code with their smart phone camera that will lead them to a Google Form. On that Form, players will enter their name (matching the spelling on their PBR profile) and hit submit. Upon submission, players will be prompted to click a link that will direct them to their jersey color and number, located next to their registered name.

ITINERARY

Please bring snacks and drinks as events can run long, especially depending on your position.

+ Check-in Times:

  • All Outfielders: 9:00 AM
  • All Infielders: 10:45 AM
  • All Catchers: 1:30 PM
  • Two-Way Pitchers: 2:00 PM
  • Pitchers Only: 2:45 PM

*Players registered as a 2-way (position and pitching) will first report to their position session and then return at 2:00 PM for their pitching session.
