After putting together an elite spring and solid showcase, RHP Tavian Shramek (Blair-Taylor, 2025) put together arguably the best showing on the mound amongst all pitchers during the event—tossing three scoreless innings in the process. The Blair-Taylor product stands at a strong 6-foot-1, 178-pound frame, throwing from a low ¾ slot. Shramek was a standout from the Western Wisconsin Summer ID, touching 88 mph with the FB at The Rock. The right-hander has a mature three-pitch mix and feel for the strike zone, racking up five strikeouts while allowing zero hits in three innings pitched. Shramek dominated with the help of a sharp SL, thrown in any count to keep hitters off of the barrel. The to-be senior spins the pitch between 2,100-2,300 RPM and located it consistently. He also mixed in a deceptive CH, thrown in plus counts—garnering swing and miss, too. It’s a complete arsenal that allowed him to strikeout 151 batters in the spring while only allowing one earned run for the Wildcats in 61 innings pitched. Shramek has elevated his status as one of the top right-handed arms in the 2025 class—competing at a high level against tough competition.

RHP Tavian Shramek (Blair-Taylor, 2025) was responsible for the loudest ‘pen of the day and is an uncommitted name-to-know in the state’s incoming senior class. Standing at a projectable 6-foot-1, 183-pounds the right-hander comes at you from a low-slot and feel for four pitches. Shramek ran his fastball up to 86.5 mph showing feel for the zone, the fastball played with heavy sinking action and armside run averaging 15.3 inches on the pitch. Shramek also showed a low-80s sinker that averaged 4 inches of IVB and 17.6 inches of run. His offspeed pitches were equally impressive, the first was a sweeping slider that played in the low-70s with 16.7 inches of sweep on average. Rounding off his arsenal, Shramek threw a heavy fading changeup that averaged 1.8 inches of IVB and 17.5 inches on run.
