Milwaukee Preseason I.D.: Pitcher Analysis

Milwaukee’s showcase last month was bursting with talent, from its underclass representatives to its juniors, led by LHP Connor Prielipp (Tomah). The junior lefty came into the event as one of the most highly anticipated attendees and he did not disappoint, and even managed to stand out amongst a stellar crop of arms.

Sophomore George Klassen turned heads last month because of the transformation he underwent since the last time we saw him. He’s long and lean and his 91 mph fastball was the hardest of the day, regardless of class, by four ticks.

Prielipp and Klassen are just the very tip of the iceberg of talent that was out in full force in Milwaukee. To learn more about the next best pitchers in the state, continue on below. This list will conclude our position-by-position breakdown from the Milwaukee Preseason I.D., but keep an eye out for the post discussing the top overall prospects from the loaded day.
