Madison Preseason I.D.: Infielder Analysis


By Steve Nielsen
Scouting Supervisor - Wisconsin/Illinois

The final showcase of our preseason circuit was held on March 10 in Windsor at GRB Academy: the Madison Preseason I.D. It’s annually one of the most heavily attended events on our calendar and typically gives us a look at some of the top talent in the entire state in the process. Over 180 prospects made it out and reiterated the fact that the state of Wisconsin baseball is better than ever.

Today, we’ll continue dissecting this event in depth with this tremendous group of infielders. Last week, we broke down the event’s after catchers and outfielders, in case you missed those. Previously, we also offered rapid analysis on the Madison I.D. inside our Quick Hits post and took a look at all of the measured data gathered with our Statistical Analysis.

This group is nothing short of spectacular and contains some of the best talent in the state. With well over 90 participating infielders, it took us some time to sift through the prospects in attendance. We separated the rankings below by class, a top-five ranking for each of the 2020, 2021, and 2022 groups.

At the top of the junior rankings are a pair of Waunakee two-way stand-outs who we expected to be among the best in show and neither disappointed. Joe Hauser and Taiten Manriquez both make it look easy on defense, though Hauser’s impressive hit/power combo has him as one of the best available prospects in the state – and he can really pitch. The do-it-all junior has simply become one of the country’s most coveted prospects without a commitment.

Among the sophomores, Liam Moreno (Sun Prairie) has continued to cement himself as one of the top bats in the Midwest, and he, too, is still on the market. The same can be said about the other four ranked sophomores as well, none of them are committed, either.

Make sure to check out the ranked freshmen below, too. They’re led by three sweet-swinging left-handed bats who have quickly become high-follows within a loaded 2022 class.

We have reports on each and every one of the near-100 prospects who made it out to the Madison-area event back in May. Check out our notes on all of them below, and keep an eye out for our pitcher’s analysis, which is on deck.
