All-State Games: Statistical Analysis
July 9, 2021
On Tuesday, June 29, the PBR Illinois staff hosted the All-State Games at The MAX in LaGrange, IL. The invite-only event featured over 50 of the top 2023s from Illinois and Wisconsin, all of whom are currently uncommitted.
A number of high-level prospects came out of the event and warrant high-follow status moving forward. Below we take a look at some of the top standouts from the day.
+ Evan Gustafson (Altoona, WI, 2023) was one of the top statistical performers at this showcase, highlighted thoroughly within the Quick Hits published earlier in the week. The left-handed-hitting catcher, listed at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, started his day by running a 7.15 and reached a 96 mph max exit velocity during BP, and eventually tied for the highest velocity during catcher defense (79 mph). This was his PBR event debut, and he’ll be joining us as a member of Team Wisconsin at the PBR Future Games at the end of the month.
+ Each time we see him, SS Ryan Niedzwiedz (West Aurora, 2023) manages to impress us. This time around, he showed an uptick in infield velocity, reaching a 90 mph high across, all while averaging one of the highest average exit speeds from the left-handed batter's box, including his 96 mph max. A fellow left-handed-hitting shortstop, Bryer Arview (Civic Memorial, 2023), similarly impressed in the batter's box with his 97 mph max exit speed, while continuing to show sound up-the-middle defensive actions.
+ In the short time between PBR showcases, Connor Olson (Arrowhead, WI, 2023) demonstrated improvement in several statistical categories. He shaved his 60 time down from 6.92 to a 6.80 while also increasing his exit velocity to 98 mph during his BP round.
+ Each of the 21 arms who pitched at the All-State Games showcase reached at least 83 mph, and the top five arms at the event were able to hit 86-plus, three over 88. RHP Ryan Geraghty (Carmel Catholic, 2023) came away from the event as a rising follow in the state, touching 90 mph, the day's highest max fastball velo. RHP Thomas Burns (Hortonville, WI, 2023) has a live fastball with carry traits, and it sat 86-89 mph at this event, nearly matching Geraghty's event-high.
