As the fall season wraps up, most of the 2014 class has made their last impressions until the spring. Earlier this week the Prep Baseball Report rolled out its overall 2014 rankings and we take a look at how Wisconsin’s finest stacked up in the Midwest.

Vanderbilt commit Jeren Kendall (Holmen) was previously the No. 2 ranked prospect in our coverage area. Unfortunately he was not able to hold onto that spot but didn’t fall far as he is still a top ten prospect in the region and is one of the top pro prospects in the nation.

RHP Fred Manke (Lodi), a Minnesota commit, made the biggest jump in the overall rankings climbing over 100 spots and entering the top 100 in our coverage area. LHP/OF Noah Sadler (Mukwonago) also climbed the overall ranks cracking the top 200.

Four Wisconsin prospects made the overall ranks for the first time. C Colin Butkiewicz (Greendale), RHP Luke Sommerfeld (Brookfield Central), RHP Riley Cordier (Sturgeon Bay) and LHP Alex McIntosh (Hortonville) all made it into the top 350.
