Led off and played center field for the Blue Dukes going 2-for-3 with two runs, a double, triple and a walk at the plate. Table setter skills set at the plate with a sound and consistent approach at the plate working counts and selecting spots to do damage, direct left-handed swing with advanced bat-to-ball against both velo and spin.

Illinois-Chicago commit, currently ranked No. 12 in the state’s junior class. Standing at an athletic 6-foot-1, 192 pound frame with advanced strength and seemingly more room to add to the frame. Multi-sport athlete, QB1 in the fall and got the start on the mound for the Blue Dukes tossing four innings allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven batters. Athletic delivery on the mound with improved feel to repeat, something that continues to tick up as he matures, with more in the tank from a velocity perspective. Two pitch arsenal in this look, carry fastball sitting in the mid-80s, clean out of the hand with carry and earning multiple swing and misses in and out of the zone against a quality lineup. Went to a firm 75-77 slider with bigger sweeping action at times, go-to secondary that flashes late break looking like a future out-pitch. Athletic defender in the infield with a strong right-handed bat to pair going 1-for-3 at the plate with a home run. High-follow athletic prospect inside the Badger State with an immense ceiling on the mound.
Matthew Schoenfeldt, MIF, Whitefish Bay, 2026
Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 62 in the state’s senior class and is one of the top uncommitted prospects in the state’s senior class.

Got the start at shortstop and hit third going 1-for-3 on the day with a RBI and walk, consistently performing across our looks at the plate. There’s some impact to pair at the plate from the left-side with easy wiry strength, the ball jumps off the barrel with backspin with feel to drive the baseball in the air to the pullside. Defensively the actions in the infield have improved looking like a defender capable of playing any spot, the left-side of the diamond is not out of the question with range and enough arm strength for either 3B/SS. Uncommitted infielder with an upside left-handed bat still on the market in the Badger State.

Manny Abreu-Socorro, C, Sun Prairie East, 2026
Madison JC recruit, currently ranked No. 89 in the state’s senior class. Standing at a proportional and strong 5-foot-10, 200-pounds with strength throughout the frame.

One of the top defensive catchers in the state’s class with advanced feel for the position and soft hands and athletic actions behind the plate. The impact continues to come for the right-handed hitter at the plate, showing more barrel feel as a senior and driving the ball with more authority to pair. The stock will continue to trend up if the extra-base production continues to tick up and will continue to be a high-follow during his JUCO career at Madison JC.
Camden Glusick, OF, Sun Prairie East, 2027
Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 52 in the state’s junior class. Standing at 6-foot, 180-pounds with room for additional strength gains as he matures into the frame.

No. 6 Arrowhead vs. Hartford Union
Wisconsin Scouting Staff
Brady Helms, INF, Hartford Union, 2027
Penn State commit, currently ranked No. 17 in the state’s junior class. Standing at a physical 6-foot-1, 190-pounds with broad and sloped shoulders and debatably more room for additional fill to the frame. Got the start at third, going 3-3 on the day with three singles and a run and a stolen base. Sound approach with advanced swing decisions and bat-to-ball traits, 0 whiffs on the day and didn’t expand/chase out of the zone. Already has a history of performing against high-end velo, shapes and spin with the same approach and bat-to-ball ability shining through. Defensively at third the actions look ticked-up with a similarly stronger looking arm across the diamond. High-follow infielder that could see himself jump into the upper-tier of prospects in the class with more impact/extra-base hit production.
Andrew Horwath, LHP, Hartford Union, 2027
Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 127 in the state’s junior class. Standing at an upside 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame with room to continue to add on to his frame. Tossed three scoreless innings out of the pen for the Orioles showing lively stuff when in the zone while striking out four batters. The fastball sat 80-83 mph with life out of the hand and seemingly more velocity on the way as he matures into the frame, while spinning a 1/7 curveball at 68-71 mph. Present stuff with more in the tank from a velocity perspective makes the left-hander a follow throughout his prep career and the ceiling will only elevate with additional control/command.
Aidan Kolb MIF, Hartford Union, 2026
Wisconsin-La Crosse recruit, currently ranked No. 52 in the state’s senior class. Standing at 5-foot-8, 167-pounds with compact strength to the frame.

The bat-to-ball and motor offensively continue to stand out, direct path with twitchy bat speed/strength at contact, gets out of the box quickly and operates both as a confident and aggressive baserunner. Tossed the final inning on the mound, striking out two batters while sitting in the upper-80 mph bucket with the fastball while the breaking ball remains a swing and miss secondary and can be relied on heavily against both handed batters. One of the top seniors in the state and is just as dangerous at the plate as he is on the mound, remains a name-to-know as he continues to ramp up on the mound.
Niko Frangopoulos, OF, Arrowhead, 2026
Wisconsin-Whitewater recruit, currently ranked No. 56 in the state’s senior class, standing at 5-foot-11, 183-pounds with strength to the frame. Got the start in left field and hit second for the Warhawks going 1-for-3 with an RBI coming from his first trip to the plate. Smooth and easy left-handed swing that has performed in front of our staff consistently across our looks. Defensively the outfielder plays with clean and steady actions that play at either corner, the speed and range give him a shot at quality center field defense at the next level. A consistent cog in the Warhawk lineup that has been a varsity performer throughout his prep career.
Carter Tuerk, RHP, Arrowhead, 2027
Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 153 in the state’s junior class, standing at a strong 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame with strength throughout.

Cooper Wendt, INF/OF, Muskego, 2027

One of the top athletes in the class with an upside frame standing at 5-foot-11, 166-pounds with clear room to continue to add onto the frame.

Started on the mound for the Red Hawks tossing five scoreless innings, allowing five hits and striking out nine batters while walking two. There was feel to repeat a simple and athletic delivery throughout the start, heavy fastball usage cruising at an easy 82-85 mph topping out at 86 mph, easy to see more velocity on the way as the weather warms up to pair. Occasionally mixed in an upper-60s breaking ball and a firm changeup off the fastball.
Jake Cummins, SS, Milton, 2026
Wisconsin-Milwaukee recruit. Currently ranked No. 34 in the state, listed at an athletic 5-foot-9, 161-pounds with lean strength to the frame.

Athletic right-handed swing with bat-to-ball skills with quality and consistent swing decisions to pair at the plate. Defensively at shortstop, Cummins is an athletic defender with fluid feet and athletic actions with a strong and athletic arm to pair, capable of sticking up the middle at the next level while profile well at either middle infield spot.
Easton Agnew, OF, Milton, 2026
Uncommitted. Listed at an athletic and lean 6-foot-1, 165-pound frame with room for added physicality. Started in right field and hit in the three-hole for Milton going 2-for-4 on the day with two RBIs.

Defensively looks comfortable and plays with clean actions in the outfield with an athletic and accurate arm from the outfield.
Logan Levitt, OF, Badger, 2026

Defensively in the outfield playing with comfortable and confident actions in the outfield with an accurate arm to pair.
Ryan Albanese, INF, Badger, 2026

No. 15 Marquette vs. Whitnall
Wisconsin Scouting Staff
Ben Schroeder, LHP, Marquette, 2027
Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 42 in the state’s junior class. Listed at a strong and proportional 6-foot, 216-pound frame. Got the start on the mound for the Hilltoppers and tossed four scoreless innings, allowing only two baserunners on a hit and a walk while striking out seven batters. Settled in as the outing progressed striking out six straight batters and finding the zone early in counts later in the game. Earned 11 whiffs on a mostly two-pitch arsenal, the fastball sat 80-85 throughout the outing with life, showed feel to spin off a firm and tight action breaking ball at 75-78 mph. Certainly more velocity in the tank from the left-hander, especially as the weather continues to warm up; high-follow uncommitted left-hander out of the Badger State.
John Bark, INF, Marquette, 2027
Uncommitted. Set to debut in the next rankings update for the 2027 class. Standing at a physical 6-foot-3, 234-pound frame with strength throughout. The left-handed hitter came away a follow after an impressive showing during the winter circuit. Limited action in this look but none the less impactful. Knotching a base hit on his only plate appearance of the game to extend the Hilltoppers lead on a hard ground ball to right field. Physical and strong left-handed swing with clear strength at impact.
Luke Parkinson, RHP, Whitnall, 2026
Bradley recruit. Currently ranked No. 24 in the state’s senior class. Listed at a strong yet still projectable 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame with lean strength throughout the frame. Got the start for Whitnall and tossed four innings allowing two earned runs on one hit, five walks and struck out seven batters. Got into some trouble early on in the first before striking out the side to get through a scoreless first inning. Parkinson would cruise until the fourth inning picking up a number of strikeouts and whiffs along the way (15 total whiffs) before Marquette would start applying pressure to the defense on the basepaths. Mostly two pitches throughout the outing, the fastball worked consistently in the upper-80s, topping out at 90 mph with life and ride through the zone and spun a bigger 12/6 breaking ball at 70-73 mph. Still an immense ceiling to the right-hander and remains a follow as the spring continues to progress.
