Notes

Comments

3/12/25
+ RHP/1B Zach Rizzo (St. Joseph, 2026) is a two-sport standout, and one of the state’s top QB prospects. The imposing 6-foot-5, 239-pound two-way prospect stood out on both sides of the ball this past weekend. At the plate, Rizzo took a loud round from the right side, from a simple and easily repeatable path, showing feel to drive the baseball. The ball jumps, making consistent hard contact averaging 93.6 mph exit velo, reaching a peak of 102.6 mph with above average bat speed at 74.9 mph. On the mound, Rizzo delivers the baseball with power, the ball jumps out of the hand with life, playing in the upper-80s while showing feel for three secondaries. A two plane breaking ball that plays with plays with two plane break in the mid-70s to pair with a firm changeup in the low-80s and a true feel for a low-80s cutter with late action. A definite name-to-know in Wisconsin’s junior class.
