Fox Cities Preseason I.D.: Infielder Analysis


By Steve Nielsen
Scouting Supervisor - Wisconsin/Illinois

On Feb. 24, the PBR Wisconsin staff travelled out to Appleton to host the Fox Cities Preseason I.D. Every year, the event helps us uncover some of the top prospects representing the northern half of the state. There were over 100 players in attendance at this year’s Fox Cities event, all of whom needed to battle blizzard-like conditions to make it out.

The rest of this week, we’ll share with you our position-by-position analysis from the showcase, continuing with the outfielders today. We previously posted our rapid reactions inside our Quick Hits post, as well as a Statistical Analysis of all the measured data taken from the event.

Continuing our analysis of the Fox Cities Preseason I.D., we take a look at the infield prospects. Several names stood out, including a pair of freshman, most notably Anthony Lausten (Hartford) who swings a left-handed bat and showed a plus arm for his age. His frame projects well and should be a high follow in a loaded 2022 class in Wisconsin. And from Green Bay Preble, there’s Jake Petasek, another lefty bat with loose hands that enables him to spray line drives into the gaps. He has a feel on the defensive side of the ball, too, which should help him stay up the middle.

West De Pere’s Joshua Blount is a top-25-ranked sophomore in the state and was among the top talents in attendance in Appleton. He showcased bat strength in front of our staff back in February and is able to create backspin from the left-handed batter’s box.

At the end of last week, we published our catcher and outfielder analysis from this event, and we’ll continue our positional breakdowns tomorrow and Wednesday. For now, check out our staff reports on each and every one of the infielders who made it out to the Appleton showcase.
