West Milwaukee Preseason ID: Infielder Analysis
April 1, 2025
On Feb. 23rd, the Prep Baseball Wisconsin had the second event of the 2025 winter showcase circuit with the annual West Milwaukee Preseason ID showcase at STiKS Academy in Waukesha, WI. Over 100 players made it out to this event, providing us with updated looks and a new list of players to follow in Wisconsin.
In the week that followed the showcase, we published two separate Quick Hits stories, an Upperclass and Underclass highlighting the top prospects of the event by class. We also rolled out a Statistical Analysis, bringing you a quick statistical analysis of those that participated in the event. We then dove deep into the data, looking at the pitch metrics and batted ball numbers from this event inside our Pitcher Data Dive and Position Player Data Dive stories. Today we’ll continue our post-event process by rolling out the individual scouting reports of the day, continuing with the infielder position while working our way across the diamond as the week progresses.
One of the top players at the event, INF/RHP Tyson Grulkowski (Muskego, 2026) only participated in the BP portion of the position player workout. Grulkowski swing one of the strongest right-handed bat in the state, on top of feel for an upside four-pitch arsenal.
