This Sunday, October 6th, the Prep Baseball Wisconsin team is hosting the Southern Wisconsin Fall ID at the STiKS Academy in Waukesha, Wis. This is an open event for all high school classes (2025-28), and gives our staff an ample look at the area's top players.

EVENT HISTORY

We've been hosting this event for the past 11 years, and it's consistently provided us a look at prominent players in the area who've later gone on to receive invitations to select events, like the Prep Baseball Future Games, as well as the newly annual Wisconsin State Games. Among the players in attendance at this event in 2023, there are already 8 commitments among them. 

We're looking forward to checking in on the next crop of talent from this event to earn next-level attention in the coming weeks, months, and years.

2024 ROSTER

This year's roster is already shaping up nicely, just like in years past.

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

Three notable names that will be in attendance on Sunday include: RHP/SS Bradley McCarthy (Badger, 2026), INF/RHP Wes DuCharme (Waunakee, 2027), and SS/RHP Maddex Welzien (West Bend West, 2028). 

McCarthy, currently ranked No. 62 in the state for the '26 class, was a standout this summer at The Rock where the 6-foot-1, 180-pound right-hander ran his fastball up to 88 mph, while tossing in a tight slider to pair.

DuCharme currently sits at the No. 18 spot in the '27 rankings for the Badger State. He was a standout earlier in the spring at the Madison Preseason ID, where he ran a 7.06 60 and tossed an 84 mph bullet from the outfield.

Welzien was a recent participant at the Prep Baseball Junior Future Games this summer, representing Team Wisconsin. At LakePoint, Welzien was consistently one of the better defenders for Team Wisconsin at the shortstop position.

EVENT CHECK-IN PROCESS
