2023 ROSTER

+ RHP/INF Nick Hirsch (Hudson, 2025) is an upside 6-foot-2, 180-pound two-way prospect to know heading into Saturday’s event. On the mound, Hirsch has been up to 85 mph in front of our staff from an easy and athletic delivery. Also, he has shown quality feel for a three offspeed pitches; both a 11/5 slider, a 12/6 curveball and a deceptive changeup, too. With the bat, Hirsch has registered exit velocities up to 92 mph from a simple and controlled right-handed swing.

+ C/OF Dimitry Edmunds (Appleton West, 2025) is a high motor prospect who put on multiple strong performances across this years summer circuit and he will be in attendance. At a strong and compact 5-foot-8, 174-pounds, Edmunds swings a quick and simple right-handed bat that we have seen collect plenty of barrels in our looks. Defensively, is a lockdown defender both behind the plate, where he has recorded pop-time lows of 1.98 before, and in the outfield where his 6.86 speed is paired with a quality arm.

+ RHP/INF Nolan Meis (Lakeside Lutheran, 2025) and CIF Drew Siudzinski (Notre Dame, 2025) are two other junior prospects making it out to ISA on Saturday. Meis is a 6-foot, 180-pound two-way prospect whose fastball sat in the low-80s this fall while also showing confidence in a low-70s breaking ball. Offensively, he swings a fluid right-handed bat while also being an athletic and sure-handed defender.

+ Siudzinski is a strong and compact 5-foot-11, 190-pound infield prospect. Across the summer circuit, Siudzinski’s strong right-handed bat turned heads and he earned a spot inside of our 2025 rankings board as a result. Saturday will provide our staff with our first showcase look at this uncommitted prospect in quite some time and we are certainly excited for it.

+ A pair of intriguing southpaws will be attendance during our inaugural fall event in De Pere in LHP Riker Blahnik (Appleton West, 2025) and LHP Jacob Coopman (Menasha, 2026). Blahnik is built 6-foot-1, 188-pounds and he has ran his fastball up to 84 mph in front of our staff from an athletic delivery. He has also shown feel for a slider, changeup and sinker, too.

Riker Blahnik (3/18/23)

+ As for Coopman, he made his debut on our 2026 rankings board in our most recent update, after putting together a strong outing at the PBRT The Rock Open this summer. There, the 6-foot, 162-pounder attacked the zone with a fastball that topped at 78 mph, while also showing feel for a sharp, mid-60s slider.

Perusing the event roster, we’re set to meet a majority of players who’ve not yet attended a PBR showcase, and we’re eager to add more names to our follow lists.
