Two-Ways

RHP/INF Tyson Resch (Menomonee Falls, 2028) shows present strength in his 5-foot-10, 202-pound frame, with more physical development to come. On the mound, Resch continued to solidify his status as one of the top prospects in Wisconsin’s 2028 class. His fastball topped out at 85 mph with firm arm-side run through the zone, and he showed feel for a full arsenal that includes a curveball, slider, and changeup. He works with a loose arm and an up-tempo delivery, adding to his overall intrigue on the mound.

Pitchers

RHP Joshua Bonin (New Berlin Eisenhower, 2026) features a strong, durable frame and continues to be a follow in the 2026 class. He works with a loose, easy arm action and shows feel for a well-rounded arsenal. His fastball touches 88 mph with lively action, paired with a sharp, hard-biting curveball and a deceptive 80–81 mph changeup thrown with fastball intent. Bonin demonstrates advanced pitchability and command of his secondaries, making him a high-upside arm to monitor moving forward.

RHP Kingston Liddell (St. Francis, 2026) is a long-levered, projectable right-hander with intriguing upside in the 2026 class. He runs his fastball up to 84 mph, showing strong spin metrics and noticeable life through the zone.

Meier pairs it with a swing-and-miss curveball that features strong depth, and a low-spin changeup that adds deception. As he continues to develop physically, Meier is a name to keep an eye on in Wisconsin’s 2028 class.

RHP Thomas Ward (Port Washington, 2028) is an intriguing young arm who stood out at this year’s summer showcase, and he’s a name we’ll continue to follow closely in the 2028 class.
