Prep Baseball Report

Kenosha Preseason ID: Pitcher Analysis


By: PBR Wisconsin Staff

On Jan. 30, the PBR Wisconsin team kicked off the 2022 winter showcase circuit with the annual Kenosha Preseason ID showcase at Fielder’s Choice Training Facility in Kenosha, Wis. Nearly 40 players made it out to this event, providing us with updated looks and a new list of players to follow in Wisconsin, as well as a handful of players from just over the Illinois border.

Last week we published Quick Hits highlighting the top prospects of the event by class. We also rolled out a Statistical Analysis, bringing you a quick statistical analysis of those that participated in the event. We then dove deep into the data, looking at the pitch metrics and batted ball numbers from this event inside our TrackMan Files piece, analyzed the swing metrics collected by Blast Motion and published them inside the Blast Board, and finally shared the Vizual Edge sight score data inside the Vizual Edge Scoreboard

On Wednesday, we published our Position Player Reports. Today we will publish our pitcher reports, which you can find below.
