Last month, our staff traveled to the Appleton area to host the annual Fox Cities Preseason I.D. at Players Choice of the Fox Cities. This year, we saw the biggest roster in event history with more than 150 prospects in attendance. For additional insight on this showcase, make sure to check out our Quick Hits and Statistical Analysis, published days after the event.

We continue our coverage with our analysis of this outfield group, a crop filled with some intriguing hitters to follow. Uncommitted junior Wilson Zuck (Appleton North) took the top spot with a strong showing across the board, leading several statistical categories on the day. A pair of sophomores to watch closely, Landon Behringer (North Fond Lac) and Joey Nerat (Campbellsport), both have a ton of upside in the batter's box and established themselves as next-level follows at this event.

Here’s a look at the top-10 outfielders at the event, as well as reports on all of the prospects who made it out to Appleton last month:
