St. Mary’s (MN) recruit. Currently ranked No. 140 in the state’s senior class. Lean 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame with room for additional physical development. Got the start on the mound and struck out seven across four innings of work, allowing two hits, one walk, and one unearned run. Worked primarily in the zone throughout the outing, operating with an 82-85 mph fastball that showed sinking action. Paired it with a 71-74 mph curveball featuring tight downer shape, while also mixing in a deceptive 74-77 mph changeup with late fade. Final line: 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 7 K.

Brayden Banyai, INF, Madison Memorial, 2026
Wisconsin-Milwaukee signee. Currently ranked No. 51 in the state. Strong, athletic 5-foot-9, 165-pound frame. Started at second base and hit second for Madison Memorial. Twitchy athlete with a quick, strong right-handed swing, showing feel to drive the baseball to the pull side with authority. Went 2-for-4 with a home run, double, two RBIs, and three runs scored. Defensively, showed a versatile and energetic profile with the ability to handle multiple spots on the field, though his natural feel on both sides of the infield continues to stand out most. A high-energy senior follow.

Ezra Liggon, OF, Madison Memorial, 2026
Bradley signee. Currently ranked No. 8 in the state’s senior class. Lean, strong 6-foot-4, 191-pound frame with room for additional physical development. One of the top athletes in the state and one of the more intriguing athletes nationally in the 2026 draft class. Got the start in center field and hit fourth for Madison Memorial, going 1-for-3 with three RBIs and a walk. Left-handed hitter with an easy operation, showing ticked-up bat speed and easy strength with impact that continues to trend upward as his extra-base hit production has jumped following a late start to the spring. Defensively, showed promising actions in center field with range and feel, aggressively tracking down balls to either gap while continuing to look like a long-term center field defender. A premier follow prospect inside the state’s senior class.

Maxwell Lubenow, RHP, Madison West, 2027
Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 19 in the state. 6-foot-2, 187-pound frame with room for additional physical development.

Worked with a clean, easy delivery while striking out seven across 3.2 innings. Fastball sat 84-87 mph and touched 88 mph. The changeup looked to be his top secondary, generating consistent whiffs at 78-81 mph. His breaking ball, previously the go-to secondary, flashed sharp swing-and-miss action at 73-76 mph. Continues to show developing feel for the zone and the ingredients of a high-follow arm moving forward.

Callen Tomsyck, OF, Muskego, 2026
South Dakota State signee. Currently ranked No. 20 in the state’s senior class, standing at 5-foot-11, 168-pounds with lean strength throughout the frame. Toolsy top of the order hitter for Muskego, hitting second and played right field going 1-for-3 on the day with two runs, an RBI, a walk and a double. Twitchy right-handed swing, on the barrel nearly every swing with minimal if any swing and miss with feel to drive the ball in the air. Run tool translate both on the bases and in right field, giving a 4.30 run time down the line to first in his first at-bat before looking like a potential centerfielder playing a corner outfield spot defensively on the day.

Maddux Lessard, C Muskego, 2026
Minnesota signee. Currently ranked No. 19 in the state’s senior class, standing at a strong 6-foot-1, 203-pound frame. Has been arguably, is not the defacto top hitter for Muskego this spring, got the start behind the plate and hit third going 4-for-5 with six RBIs, two runs, a double and a triple. Strong right-handed swing with easy strength that he gets to often, driving the baseball to all fields on the day. Defensively has the makings of a quality defender behind the dish at the next level.

Ben Kuglitsch, OF, Muskego, 2026
Florida State signee. Currently ranked No. 4 in the state’s senior class, standing projectable and athletic frame at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds with lean-strength and room continue to fill into the frame.

Quick right-handed swing with feel to loft the ball in the air, flashed feel to drive the ball to the opposite field on a home run to the right-centerfield gap in the fourth. Defensively looked the part in centerfield where he saw a large number of balls hit his was working with ease to either gap, and a number of tools that add to an upside defensive profile in center field. One of the top athletes nationally and another follow prospect from the Badger State for this summer’s MLB Draft.

Cruz Ramirez, RHP, Muskego, 2026
Wisconsin-Stevens Point recruit. Currently ranked No. 103 in the state’s senior class, standing at a stong 5-foot-8, 159-pound frame. Got the start for Muskego on the mound, earning the win over a six inning complete game, striking out three batters while giving up four hits, walking one. Feel to pitch, working a low-80s T84 mph sinking fastball to both sides of the plate with ease and filing up the zone. Confident to spin a firm 73-77 mph breaking ball in the zone, manipulated shape flashing tight/late two-plane action.

Cooper Graham, RHP, Mukwonago, 2029
The top ranked freshman in the state and is a rising right-handed pitching prospect on the national scene. Got the start for Mukwonago against and despite the statline, was competitive against one of the strongest lineups in the state through five innings, Strong build at 6-foot-2, 215-pound with maturing strength to the frame to pair advanced arm strength and feel for a budding power three pitch mix. The fastball held velocity at 85-89 mph, touching 87 mph in the fifth showing feel to work to both sides of the plate at times in this look. Both secondaries were advanced and played like potential power/swing-and-miss offerings. The curveball played in the mid-70s with 12/6 shape and sharp swing-and-miss action at times. The changeup sat in the upper-70s and was used against both handed batters; getting a swing-and-miss against a right-handed hitter with the offering. While not the sharpest day, the stuff stands out among pitchers nationally inside the class and the right-hander will remain a high-follow throughout his prep career.
