October 9, 2025
Wisconsin Scouting Staff

On October 5th, the Prep Baseball Wisconsin staff hosted the Southern Wisconsin Fall ID at StiKs Academy in Waukesha, WI. Around 20 players participated in a pro-style workout, gathering unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art tech partners, as well as in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball Wisconsin staff.

POSITION PLAYERS

+ OF Sebatstian Lopez (Homeschool, 2028) measured in at a projectable 5-foot-8, 146 pounds and displayed some bursty athleticism at the start of the event by running the quickest 60-yard dash of the event at 6.93 seconds. He then hit with a compact swing with a flat bat path that produced a max exit velocity of 89.6 mph. On defense, Lopez displayed clean and athletic actions during his outfield work and was up to 82 mph with backspin and carry through the target. This was the second time we’ve seen Lopez in the showcase setting and we came away impressed with the overall profile and will keep a close eye on him and look forward to future developments in the winter at the preseason ID.

+ C Silas Cronkite (Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln, 2026) continues to showcase loud tools in the showcase setting for our staff. He started his day by running a respectable 7.20 60 yard dash showing off an athletic gait and quick turnover. Next, the right-handed hitter produced the highest max exit velocity of the day at 95.6 mph as the ball was jumping off his bat throughout the round from his repeatable right handed swing. Behind the plate, the defense continues to be the carrying tool for the senior. Cronkite had the second best pop time of the day at 2.08 and we’ve seen him sub 2.00 seconds in the past. Cronkite has a high aptitude for the catching position and is an asset behind the plate with how athletic he is in general, but especially for a backstop. Cronkite remains a name to follow and will be a player that will be able to help a program at that next level as he continues to develop.

+ C Eli Marble (Wauwatosa East, 2027) opened some eyes with his performance on Sunday. Marble showcased a balanced and aggressive right-handed swing that produced some of the best exit velocities of the day. He was up to 93.9 mph and hit the furthest ball of the event at 337 feet. On defense his pop times were on the bag and he showcased some ability to turn the ball around quickly to second base. He also displayed soft hands and a leadership type presence behind the plate. Marble is a player our staff will watch closely moving forward.

+ C Brody Hall (DC Everest, 2027) measured at a sturdy and strong 5-foot-8, 169 pounds. He hit with a flat and quick swing producing consistent hard line drive contact throughout his round. On defense, Hall, displayed soft hands receiving the ball during his bullpen work and quick down to block to keep the ball in front to prevent runners from advancing. Hall is a player on our staff’s radar moving forward.

+ C Jack Mazur (Hartford, 2027) has some upside and is a player who impressed with the bat on Sunday. Mazur showcased an aggressive yet controlled move to the hitting zone and hit with a very well sequenced swing from the right side of the plate. The exit velocities will continue to tick up as Mazur adds more strength to his frame. He was hitting hard line drives consistently through the back of the facility and was repeating his right handed swing consistently throughout his round. His displayed soft hands and solid blocking technique during defense as well. Mazur will be a name to monitor going forward for our staff.

PITCHERS/TWO-WAY PLAYERS

+ RHP/INF Tanner Bergey (Jefferson, 2028) is a top ranked player in the state for his class and his performance on Sunday backed up his ranked status. Bergey is a long levered and projectable 6-foot-6, 185 pound two-way player. On the mound, Bergey timed up his long levers consistently and was running his heater up to 84 mph through the zone. His sharp 12/6 breaking ball was thrown to the lower part of the strike zone and has the potential to be a swing and miss weapon for him in the future. His slider is a tight and quick breaker and gives him an additional breaking ball weapon. He also showed some feel for a developing change up. As a position player, Bergey has an athletic and quick swing from the right side of the plate and was hitting rockets throughout his round. His 95.1 mph max exit velocity was the third best overall at the event. Additionally, he worked with clean and loose actions in the middle infield and displayed reliable defensive actions throughout his round. The sophomore has a high ceiling and our staff will continue to keep close tabs on him as we enter into the winter showcase season.

+ INF/RHP Jack Schmanski (Grafton, 2026) was measured at a strong and athletic 5-foot-11, 179 pounds with a frame that looks to add more size and strength in the near future. Schmanski started off his impressive day by running the second best 60 yard dash of the day at 6.94 seconds. He then displayed a simple and handsy right-handed swing that produced consistent line drive contact and produced the second best max exit velocity of the day at 95.4 mph. In the infield, Schmaski showcased a quick and rangy first step, soft hands, and a strong and accurate arm. On the mound, he was up to 84 mph with some running action on the fastball and featured a curveball, slider and change up to round out his four-pitch mix. This was the first time we’ve seen the talented senior at a Prep Baseball showcase and he proved why he is a ranked player in the state and has himself as a strong follow heading into the winter showcase season.

+ RHP/INF Jax Lindauer (Arrowhead, 2028) remains on our follow list after his solid performance on Sunday. With the bat, the sophomore hit with a compact and repeatable left handed swing and was driving the ball through the big part of the field throughout his round. He showcased clean actions during infield with an accurate arm with carry through his target. On the mound, Lindauer displayed a repeatable and well-sequenced delivery throughout his bullpen session. His fastball topped out at 81 mph with late arm side run that paired well with his curveball and change up for strikes. Our staff continues to be impressed with the overall feel for the game both as a right-handed arm and middle infielder after the workout.

+ RHP Jonathan Kratz (Sun Prairie, 2027) is a long levered and projectable right-hander who put himself on the map with his performance on the mound on Sunday. Kratz pitched exclusively out of the strength and delivered his arsenal from a high 3/4 arm slot. He levered the ball down hill and was up to 81 mph with his fastball. He deployed a sharp 12/6 curveball that displayed some out pitch characteristics. He rounded out his arsenal with a slider that provided more lateral break than the curve which should play well against same-handed hitters in game.

+ RHP/INF Simon Schmitz (Sparta High School, 2028) is an athletic and projectable two-way player who showcased some tools and skills on both sides of the ball on Sunday. Schmitz measured a projectable and athletic, 5-foot-11, 158 pounds with plenty of room to add size and strength. He started his day by running the third fastest 60 yard time of the day with a 7.07 seconds sprint. He then showed solid feel for the barrel with a well-sequenced swing and was spraying the ball throughout his round. On the mound, he showed feel for three pitches for strikes with a clean and repeatable delivery. Schmitz is on our staff’s radar after his performance on Sunday.

+ LHP Mason Filburn (Boyle County High School, KY; 2029) measured at an athletic 5-foot-8, 175 pounds with plenty of indicators he will add more size and strength in the near future. On the mound, Filburn displayed an athletic delivery that he repeated consistently throughout his session. Filburn pounded the zone with a running fastball that was in the mid 70’s and paired it with a sweeping curveball for strikes. He rounded out his arsenal by showing consistent feel for a change up with late fade to arm side. Overall, it was an intriguing look from the left-hander from the state of Kentucky.
