South Milwaukee Preseason I.D.: Infielder Analysis

On March 3, the PBR Wisconsin staff held its longest running event, the South Milwaukee Preseason I.D., at Hitters Baseball Academy in Caledonia. This event has annually given us a spring preview of some of the top prospects across the state.

Today, we continue our week-long analysis of the event with the infield prospects from the showcase. We have previously posted our Statistical Analysis of the event and Quick Hits recap in the days following the event, and we also started our position-by-position breakdown last week by examining the day’s outfielders and catchers.

This group in particular represents some of the best prospects in the state, including the top ranked sophomore in Wisconsin: Ozaukee’s Noah Miller. The Alabama-bound shortstop plays with a natural feel for the game across the board. He’s improving as a runner, is a true switch-hitter, and is a sound defender.

Juniors Michael Seegers (Home School; Iowa commit) and T.J. Manteufel (Union Grove; Bradley) turned in highly impressive performances at Hitters, too. Seegers is a plus defender with the range and arm strength to stick to the left side of the infield. His right-handed bat has a knack for finding the middle of the diamond and his athleticism allows him to repeat is easy swing, geared for contact.

As for Manteufel, he ran a 6.67 mark in the 60-yard dash back at the start of March and he’s a quick-twitch hitter with advanced defensive traits.

There’s a lot to unpack here, so let’s get to it.
