RHP Tavian Shramek (Blair-Taylor, 2025; Madison JC) has been one of the top performers in the WIAA the last two springs. On Tuesday, the senior struck out 15 batters across 5.2 innings allowing two hits and a walk, while eclipsing 400 career strikeouts during the outing
As a junior while being named to our Third Team All-State, Shramek struck out 138 batters across 55 innings while allowing one earned run. This spring the senior is matching his performance, already throwing two no-hitters on the spring and accumulating 113 strikeouts across 44.2 innings while only allowing two earned runs in that span.
Shramek was one of the top uncommitted players in the state up until he committed to Madison JC before the spring. The right-hander has an advanced arsenal with three pitches from a unique and lower slot. Feel to locate each pitch in the zone with a heavy sinking fastball in the upper-80s and two secondaries that have looked like potential swing-and-miss offerings. The slider plays in the mid-70s with sharp sweeping action and the changeup plays with late diving action and can be effective against both handed batters.
We're thankful for the POTW submissions we received from the coaches across the state. The players who garnered POTW consideration will earn a place within tomorrow's Diamond Notes story, so be on the lookout for that.
Scouting Report
After putting together an elite spring and solid showcase, RHP Tavian Shramek (Blair-Taylor, 2025) put together arguably the best showing on the mound amongst all pitchers during the event—tossing three scoreless innings in the process. The Blair-Taylor product stands at a strong 6-foot-1, 178-pound frame, throwing from a low ¾ slot. Shramek was a standout from the Western Wisconsin Summer ID, touching 88 mph with the FB at The Rock. The right-hander has a mature three-pitch mix and feel for the strike zone, racking up five strikeouts while allowing zero hits in three innings pitched. Shramek dominated with the help of a sharp SL, thrown in any count to keep hitters off of the barrel. The to-be senior spins the pitch between 2,100-2,300 RPM and located it consistently. He also mixed in a deceptive CH, thrown in plus counts—garnering swing and miss, too. It’s a complete arsenal that allowed him to strikeout 151 batters in the spring while only allowing one earned run for the Wildcats in 61 innings pitched. Shramek has elevated his status as one of the top right-handed arms in the 2025 class—competing at a high level against tough competition.
