MIF Kyle Rogosienski (Muskego, 2027) is primed for a big spring coming off a productive summer and fall circuit that resulted in a commitment to Vanderbilt. The left-handed hitting middle infielder is one of the top athletes in the state with a top of the order skillset and all the tools to stick at shortstop and potentially provide quality defense at a high-level, currently the top prospect inside the state's 2027 class and has long been a prospect our staff has followed.

He’s primed for a big spring ahead as Muskego boasts one of, if not the top 2027 groups in the state. He’s coming off a year in which he earned Second Team All-Conference honors in one of the state's top conferences taking over the lead off spot in one of the deepest lineups in the state and playing a quality shortstop.

We recently had the chance to talk to Kyle about his recruitment process, along with some other fun topics, below.
