On Sunday, Sept. 20, the PBR Wisconsin team will travel to Glendale, the home of the Milwaukee School of Engineering’s brand new baseball facility, Raiders Stadium, to host our annual Senior Games showcase, designed for some of the top uncommitted prospects in the state to gather in one place.

ROSTER

We’ll have several prospects in attendance that find themselves on our recent class of 2021 ranks update, with RHP/SS Carl Cano (Bay Port, 2021) being the highest ranked of this specific group. Cano has shown well in front of our eyes at several different events over the last calendar year, particularly on the mound, touching 89 mph and pairing that advanced heater with feel for a hard biting breaking ball. He remains one of the state’s top uncommitted prospects.

Left-handed-hitting OF Peyton Seebacher (Muskego, 2021) is another ranked prospect that’ll be in attendance on Sunday. Our last look at him was back in February, where he looked like he’d added more strength onto an athletic 6-foot-1, 185-pound. It’s an intriguing offensive profile for Seebacher, who pairs his loose bat speed with advanced raw strength to make consistent loud contact, especially to the pull-side. This may ultimately be our last look at him in the showcase setting and it’ll be interesting to see the strides he’s made. 

We saw Darryl Jackson (Rufus King, 2021) back in March, where he stood out amongst the crowd at a loaded South Milwaukee Preseason I.D. event. A quick-twitch athlete with loud tools, Jackson’s upside up the middle and at the plate is undeniable. He pairs confident and controlled actions with a plus arm that help his chances of sticking there long-term. Jackson remains one of the top uncommitted middle infielders in the state’s class. 

As the fall circuit officially begins, we’re looking forward to getting an updated look at all these unsigned prospects on Sunday.
