On July 30th and 31st the PBR Wisconsin team hosted the first-annual Wisconsin State Games at the Rock in Franklin, WI. This invite-only event was for all high school classes (2025-28), and gave our staff a chance to get a look at nearly 200 prospects at the end of the summer. The event featured 10 teams, a position player showcase, and a three-game guarantee per player.

The list below is a combination of a player's showcase performance, along with their in-game performance from the event.

For a closer look at the showcase details and the technologies we have on-site to assist our in-person evaluation for all in attendance, click here. Today we begin to conclude the analysis of the event with a look at the top 2025 prospects from the event.
