On March 21st, the Prep Baseball Wisconsin staff hosted the annual Milwaukee Preseason ID at the MOSH Center in Franklin, Wis. The event featured a deep field of prospects from across the region, 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 Takeaways story and a look at the traditional stats measured within our Statistical Analysis piece.

You can learn more about the state-of-the-art technologies featured at our showcases within the hyperlinks above. Today we’ll continue our post-event process by rolling out the individual scouting reports of the day, continuing with the top overall prospects from the event.
