On June 30, the PBR Illinois and Wisconsin teams hosted its select annual event, the All-State Games, at The Rock Complex in Franklin, Wis. This invite-only showcase targets the top uncommitted incoming juniors from both states, while serving as a key identifier in the lead-up to the PBR Future Games.

It is perennially one of the most important showcases on the summer calendar and this year’s roster proved to be a memorable one.

We provided some instant insight in the days following All-State Games inside of our Quick Hits post and Statistical Analysis, both highlighting the top performances from this event. We started our position-by-position breakdown on Monday when we analyzed the day’s catchers, outfielders, and infielders, and we’re onto the pitchers today.

Several names within this group below earned invitations to the summer’s PBR Future Games, including the first two names ranked at the top, from Wisconsin and Illinois.

RHP Tyler Deleskiewicz (Badger, WI) blossomed this summer into one of the top uncommitted arms in the Midwest, possessing some impressive, inherent arm strength. He was the lone ‘22 to touch the 90 mph mark, and he did so repeatedly.

From Illinois, Shane Curtin (Mount Carmel) has immense feel for his advanced repertoire. He’s one of the top left-handers from his state with a true three-pitch mix from a quick and clean arm.

Check out the scouting reports on both of these prospects below, as well as the reports on all of the pitchers who participated at this event – it’s an impressive group, even beyond those ranked. Stay tuned tomorrow when we conclude our All-State Games analysis by ranking the best overall prospects in attendance.
