Top-10 Profiles of 2021: No. 10, J.T. Kelenic
December 20, 2021
As we approach the end of 2021, we're taking account of the PBR Wisconsin player profile pages to determine the players in our backyard whose profiles earned the most attention throughout the year. We're counting down the top-10 profiles in the state that received the most views, from No. 10 and on, concluding our countdown on New Year's Day by revealing the most-viewed profile of the year.
Coming in at No. 10 is OF J.T Kelenic (Catholic Memorial), who's no stranger to the state's ‘23 rankings. He's been near the top of the state's 2023 board since its first edition, and he showed signs of putting together his physical toolset this late summer and fall, when he ultimately landed a commitment to Grand Canyon. Currently, No. 11 in the state's 2023 class, Kelenic represented Team Wisconsin at the PBR Future Games in August and backed up his performance there with a productive weekend at a fall tourney at The Rock Complex. The consistency he's beginning to show from within the right-handed batter's box has his arrow pointed up headed into his junior year's offseason.
