EVENT HISTORY
We've been hosting this event for the past six years, and it's consistently provided us a look at prominent players who've later gone on to receive invitations to select events, like the PBR Future Games.
Last year, our top performers were RHP/OF Ben Kuglitsch (Muskego, 2026; Florida State), RHP/3B Peter Kussow (Arrowhead, 2025; Louisville), 3B/OF Dean Staudacher (Muskego, 2025; Wabash Valley JC), LHP/1B Colton Semmelmann (Brookfield Central, 2026; South Carolina), LHP/1B Ryan Brennecke (Oconomowoc, 2025; Wake Forest), OF Matthew O'Grady Jr. (Badger, 2026), RHP/1B Tyson Grulkowski (Muskego, 2026), SS/RHP Eli Bryant (Beaver Dam, 2025; Kent State), RHP/3B Cail Geiger (Menomonee, 2026), 3B/RHP Trey Kerkhoff (Burlington, 2026; Illinois-Chicago). We're looking forward to checking in on the next crop of talent from this event to earn next-level attention in the coming weeks, months, and years.
2025 ROSTER
This year's roster is already shaping up nicely, just like in years past.
LHP/OF Mason Horn (Muskego, 2027) stands at a projectable 6'0", 163 pounds with long levers, good proportions, and sloped shoulders. On the mound, he is tall, quick, and athletic with a high leg lift and an up-tempo delivery, finishing with control and quick arm action. At the plate, he has loose hands and a flat swing path, looking to use the entire field for line drives.
RHP/1B Tyson Grulkowski (Muskego, 2026) stands tall and strong at 6'5", 218 pounds, with long levers and good proportions. On the mound, he has a controlled leg lift, a clean and easy delivery, and a loose arm. His slider is impressive, with sharp 11-to-5 tilt and tight movement in the zone, featuring a spin rate topping 2,705 rpm. At the plate, Grulkowski displays quick, strong hands with an uphill swing path and a heavy barrel. His maximum exit velocity reached an impressive 101 mph.
2B/C Bradyn Kundiger (Waukesha West, 2026) has a proportional and projectable 5'8", 148-pound frame. At the plate, his hands load into a strong, on-time position at launch. His swing is loose and simple, with a direct path and a whole-field approach. In the field, he plays low and through the ball, with soft hands that work confidently out front. He has easy range to both sides of his glove and a smooth arm action. We can’t wait to see him in action at this year’s Preseason ID.
C/3B Ethan Miller (Slinger, 2027) has a strong 5'9", 181-pound frame. At the plate, he has an athletic setup and gets into a strong hitting position on time. He swings with a flatter path through the zone and has a feel for the barrel, taking a pull-side approach. Behind the plate, Miller displays smooth actions with a clean transfer, gaining ground and working in line out of the chute. He is a soft blocker and shows a feel for the pocket when receiving the ball. With an impressive pop time of 2.00, he still has plenty of room for growth, as he is set to graduate in 2027.
SS/3B Kyle Rogosienski (Muskego, 2027) has a lean and athletic 6'0", 160-pound frame with plenty of room for growth. At the plate, he employs a controlled leg lift into an aggressive footplant with a balanced finish. His swing is short and compact, allowing him to cover all quadrants of the zone, with the ball jumping off the bat for line-drive contact to all fields. In the field, Rogosienski makes it look easy with clean hands and fluid actions, fielding through the ball effortlessly. Ranked as a top-5 player in the state of Wisconsin, he has a high ceiling.
Perusing the event roster, we’re set to meet a majority of players who’ve not yet attended a Prep Baseball showcase, and we’re eager to add more names to our follow lists.
