At the end of each calendar year, the Prep Baseball Wisconsin staff reflects back on the 10 most intriguing headlines that surrounded the baseball scene in the Badger State. Through the end of the month, we will break down the most impactful storylines from an eventful 2025 campaign, ending with our No. 1 story revealed Dec. 31.

The Future Games is one of the most anticipated events for our staff at the end of the summer, offering the chance to evaluate each state’s top emerging junior talent right before Division I schools are able to officially contact them. We spend all year shaping and molding the roster we bring through our various showcases and tournaments, so it is rewarding to see how dynamic this Team Wisconsin squad was.

This year’s Wisconsin squad impressed against some of the Midwest’s premier competition, finishing 2-1 in gameplay with wins over Team Indiana and Team Illinois after dropping their opening game to Team Missouri. The team was quite well-rounded this year, featuring notable talent on the mound, at the plate, and in the field. Multiple players from Wisconsin were able to raise their stock during the testing day, but many truly put their names on the map during gameplay. To view our testing day leaderboards, please follow the links below:

One of the more notable arms that raised his stock during the event was recent-Cincinnati commit RHP Jacob Coisman (2027; Luxemburg-Casco), who featured swing-and-miss stuff that generated five whiffs in Game 1. Coisman showcased a lively, high-spin fastball in the upper 80s (T 91.2 mph) that paired well with a high-spin slider (T 2,600+ rpm), while also flashing a fading low-80s changeup. His arm talent, paired with the overall projectability of his 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame, made him a can’t-miss prospect at the event and vaulted him up our rankings from No. 16 to No. 7.

Two-way standout RHP/INF Aedan Waterstreet (2027; Appleton North, Central Michigan) was another major winner from Game 1 who showed well on both sides of the ball throughout the event. At the plate, Waterstreet consistently put up quality at-bats, going 2-for-6 with two doubles and four walks. On the mound, he showcased considerable upside, featuring a four-pitch arsenal that consistently induced weak contact. His mix included a mid-80s fastball, a horizontal slider, a fading changeup, and a sinker with arm-side run.

Another standout from the event with two-way potential was OF/RHP Ira Hilbelink (2027; Cedar Grove-Belgium), a player who emerged as one of the top hitters at the showcase. He posted a team-best .444 batting average, highlighted by a double and a home run in gameplay/ He also showcased some of the state’s top all-around tools, including a 93 mph outfield throw and a 103.3 mph max exit velocity during the testing portion. The right-hander also showed some upside on the mound, displaying a lively upper 80s fastball and flashing a horizontal slider that played with sweep. Hilbelink remains the top uncommitted player in the state, and he will be a name that schools will monitor closely.

The No. 1 player in the state of Wisconsin SS Kyle Rogosienski (2027; Muskego, Vanderbilt), put on a show during the testing portion of the event, showcasing high-level tools across multiple facets of the game. He began by demonstrating his athleticism with a 6.59-second 60-yard dash. On defense, he impressed with a steady glove, notable range, and a strong arm, throwing 95 mph across the diamond. At the plate, Rogosienski displayed the ability to drive the ball to all fields, posting a max exit velocity of 95.5 mph during batting practice while reaching base six times in gameplay. His well-rounded toolset makes him one of the top players in the Midwest, and a name to keep an eye on as he continues to develop.

This Wisconsin team featured some high-quality talent behind the dish this year, including C Grady Cheever (2027; Germantown, Toledo), C Jack Spielmann (2027; Milton, West Virginia), and C Logan Hagman (2027; Hudson, Minnesota). Cheever showcased some of the top bat-to-ball skills on the team, finishing 4-for-10 on the week with a pull-side home run in Game 2. Spielmann combined defensive polish with power at the plate, posting a 1.97-2.01 pop time and an average exit velocity of 92.4 mph during batting practice. Hagman continued to prove why he’s one of the top catching prospects in the Midwest, pairing above-average athleticism (6.86-second 60-yard dash) with loud power and solid defensive actions. He registered a 102 mph max exit velocity and a 1.97-2.07 pop time during the testing portion, while also going 3-for-9 with two doubles in gameplay.

Also providing a major impact on offense were SS Ryan Rose (2027; West Bend West), OF Chace Staude (2027; Kettle Moraine, Notre Dame), SS Cooper Sievert (2027; Wisconsin Lutheran, West Virginia), and OF Carter Fry (2027; Wisconsin Lutheran), all of whom had key moments throughout the week. Rose was all over the barrel against Team Illinois, going 3-for-3 with an RBI and two stolen bases. He also showcased consistent power during batting practice, posting a 92.1 mph average exit velocity, while displaying a clean glove and natural actions up the middle. Staude put together one of the team’s top all-around performances during testing, combining a 6.84-second 60-yard dash with a 90 mph outfield throw and a 95.9 mph max exit velocity during batting practice. He was able to ride that momentum into gameplay where he would finish 3-for-8 with three RBIs and a walk. Sievert also had a strong day against Team Illinois, finding a pull-side triple to left field to finish 2-for-3 on the day. He also showcased range in the infield with a strong arm across the diamond at 91 mph during the testing day. Fry delivered perhaps the most electric performance of the group, going 2-for-3 with a home run and a double against Team Illinois in Game 3, earning MVP honors for the contest. He also displayed some of the top speed on the team with a 6.44-second 60-yard dash.

OF Kingston Grisolono (2027; Kewaskum) and 2B Brady Helms (2027; Hartford, Penn State) were two more standouts from the roster during the testing portion of the event and are names to watch in the state heading into this spring.

This Wisconsin squad also impressed on the mound, with multiple pitchers showing significant upside throughout the event. Three left-handed arms who caught attention were LHP Cal Schneider (2027; New Berlin Eisenhower, Louisville), LHP Mason Horn (2027; Muskego, Purdue), and LHP Joey Shaw (2027; Muskego). Schneider possessed a deceptive feel from a low 3/4 slot that gave hitters problems throughout his two innings of work, finishing with four strikeouts and no runs allowed. He attacked hitters with his three-pitch mix, featuring a mid-80s fastball, a 1/7 curveball with a feel for spin, and a low-70s changeup that tailed effectively off of his fastball. Horn showcased swing-and-miss stuff against Team Illinois, recording six whiffs over two innings and finishing with four strikeouts. His mid-80s fastball (T 87 mph) featured arm-side run and paired effectively with a 1/7 curveball that he could command in any count, along with an upper-70s fading changeup. Shaw compliments him well at Muskego, featuring a similar pitch mix and a strong feel for all three offerings. He was able to induce weak contact consistently with his three-pitch arsenal, filling the zone with a mid-80s fastball (T 87 mph), a horizontal slider that showed sweep, and a fading changeup that dived at the plate. He ended up tossing two clean innings against Team Indiana, only allowing one hit with one strikeout.

Adding notable right-handed arm talent to the roster, RHP Dylan Schreiber (2027; Waukesha West, Purdue) and RHP Chase Wolter (2027; Whitefish Bay) both delivered strong appearances during the event. Schreiber was efficient across two innings, utilizing an effective three-pitch arsenal to consistently induce weak contact. He worked with a lively upper-80s fastball (T 89.1 mph), a tight mid-70s slider, and a fading changeup that showed sink. Wolter was another right-handed arm who was a major winner in gameplay, tossing two innings with two unearned runs and two strikeouts on one hit. He attacked hitters with his fastball that sat 86-89 mph, complimenting it with a mid-70s slider with late break, and a deceptive upper-70s changeup.

LHP Mark Susa (2027; Hudson), LHP Drew Stettbacher (2027; Horace Mann, Central Michigan), RHP Eli Dreier (2027; Wisconsin Lutheran), and RHP Ty Bumgardner (2027; Notre Dame Academy) are additional pitchers who showed promise at the event and will be players our staff continues to follow throughout the spring and summer seasons.
