Wisconsin Staff

On June 26th, the Prep Baseball Wisconsin staff hosted the Verona Summer ID at Sun Prairie East High School in Sun Prairie, WI. Over 50 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

INF Drew Haferman (Madison Memorial, 2027) had one of the day’s more impressive rounds of BP. Owning a 5-foot-10, 166-pound frame, the left-handed bat produced a max exit velocity of 89.7 mph while producing some bat speed through the zone (avg. 68.1 mph).

C/OF Grady Miller (Verona Area, 2026) showed well in his Prep Baseball event debut. The left-handed hitter produced a max exit velocity of 89.9 mph during his round of batting practice, and he tied for the event’s highest average bat speed (70.3 mph). Defensively, Miller tallied the top outfield velocity from the event (82 mph).

INF Kyle Lemmon (Madison West, 2027) stands in a 6-foot-1, 140-pound frame with plenty of room for added strength. The left-handed hitter showed a loose and athletic swing during his round of batting practice.

INF Caden Martin (Verona, 2028) is an intriguing name in Wisconsin’s incoming sophomore class. The right-handed hitter stayed on the barrel throughout his round of batting practice, producing an average exit velocity of 84 mph and max exit velocity of 89.7 mph. He showed an easy and consistent swing during his round, averaging 68.2 mph bat speed. Defensively, he tallied a 78 mph infield velocity on his best throw across the diamond.

3B Zach Shipman (Eau Claire North, 2026) is an uncommitted name from the Northern part of the state, and he produced one of the day’s loudest rounds of BP. The left-handed hitter owns a strong 6-foot, 185-pound frame, and he produced a max exit velocity of 95 mph and a max batted distance of 364 feet (event leader). He showed some bat speed through the zone, averaging 69.6 mph (T72.4 mph)

PITCHERS

RHP Caden Cook (Sun Prairie West, 2026) is an uncommitted name from this summer’s Verona event. Cook’s fastball sat 81-83 mph throughout his ‘pen, producing an average of 17 inches of horizontal movement, the fifth highest of the day. He mixed in both a curveball and a slider that sat in the low-70s with similar metrics, and finished his ‘pen with a change-up at 73-75 mph.

RHP Myles Hosking (Vel Phillips Memorial, 2026) is yet another uncommitted arm from the event, and he’s currently slotted at No. 104 in the state’s rankings. Standing in a 6-foot-2, 175-pound frame, Hosking worked his fastball up to 84.2 mph, and sat 82-84 mph throughout. Hosking led the event with his 2587 average curveball spin rate (T2622), the pitching sitting in the low-70s with an average of -4.7 inches of induced vertical break. Hosking then showed a change-up that sat 73-75 mph, and rounded out his mix with a low-80s sinker.

RHP James Wasson (Nazareth Academy, 2027) is a high-upside arm from Illinois that’s currently ranked No. 51 in the state’s incoming junior class. At 6-foot-5, 215-pounds, Wasson seemingly has projection still to come. He showcased one of the loudest bullpen’s from the event, working his fastball up to 90 mph (event best) and sitting mostly upper-80s with an average of 17.1 inches of horizontal movement. Wasson turned to a curveball that sat 68-71 mph, and played with an average of -6.7 inches of induced vertical break and -14.6 inches of horizontal movement. To round out his arsenal, Wasson threw a low-70s change-up. Wasson also ran a 6.34 60 time, the best of the event. He’s an uncommitted name-to-know heading into August 1st.
