Prep Baseball Wisconsin Player of the Week: Calvin Moreau
April 10, 2024
SS/RHP Calvin Moreau (Monona Grove, 2026) is one of the top prospects in the state’s 2026 class where he is currently ranked No. 3. During his first two weeks of spring action, he has certainly been playing like it, helping lead Monona Grove, our Preseason Power 25 No. 5 squad, to a 3-1 record in that span.
To kick off the season, the Silver Eagles traveled to Tennessee to take on some competition from the area, and did more than hold their own with Moreau being a huge reason why. After a 1-for-3 performance to kick off the week, Moreau shined in Monona Grove’s second game, going 4-for-4 at the plate, one of those hits being a solo home run.

His best performance of the week came against Prep Baseball Tennessee’s then-ranked No. 3 team Collierville. In that one, Moreau got the scoring started for the Silver Eagles as he blasted his second solo shot of the weekend to give them a early 1-0 lead. After both team's offense continued to produce, it was eventually knotted up at four heading into the bottom of the seventh. That was until Moreau led off the inning with his third home run of the weekend which lifted Monona Grove to the win in walk-off fashion. He also earned the win on the mound in that game, as he limited a potent Collierville offense to just two runs on four hits, while also tallying five punch outs.
Moreau did not leave his hot bat in Tennessee either, as he logged a 2-for-3 performance in their first in-state game of the season against Madison West, while also driving in a pair.
To sum up Moreau’s stellar first two weeks to the spring, he batted to a .714 average and a slugging percentage of 1.500 across 11 at-bats. He drove in four RBIs during that span, while also scoring five runs, too, proving to be a force atop Monona Grove’s lineup.

Scouting Report
SS/RHP Calvin Moreau (Monona Grove, 2026) got out to his first showcase since we saw him in live-game action in the summer of 2022. The long, twitchy-athletic right-hander threw an electric bullpen, and showcased advanced velocity for his age. Standing at a wiry 6-foot-2, 165 pounds, Moreau features a projectable frame with plenty of room to grow. On the bump, Moreau presents a FB-CH-CB combination, all coming from the ¾ arm slot with a quick, short-arm motion. The FB peaked at an impressive 85 mph, as Moreau showed that he could control the pitch and pinpoint it. Additionally, the lanky pitcher showed an advanced feel for the CB, sitting around 70-72 mph, and had a spin rate average of 2,332 RPM. The CH complemented both pitches as a change-of-pace pitch that has quality fade and was also thrown for strikes. Moreau had the lowest 60-time of the day at 6.61 second, further proving his athleticism. At the plate, the right-handed hitter drops his hands into an uphill path, remaining controlled through impact and repeating his swing consistently - also averaging between 22-23 mph for his hand-speed. Moreau has established himself as a top end prospect in the state after this very impressive showing on Sunday.
