On Oct. 14, the PBR Wisconsin scouting staff traveled to STIKS Academy in Waukesha, Wis., to host the annual Southern Wisconsin Open event. This open showcase helped introduce us to some need-to-know players in the state that we’d not yet seen before, as well as provided us with updated looks at players who’ve earned our attention in the past.

Below is a look at all of the pitchers from the event with a few standouts that deserve a mention.
