Tech Analyst, Area Scout

On Mar. 5th, the PBR Wisconsin team hosted its latest event along the 2023 winter showcase circuit, the annual South Milwaukee Preseason ID at Hitters Baseball Academy in Caledonia, Wis. Nearly 80 players made it out to this event, providing us with updated looks and a new list of prospects to follow in an area of Wisconsin that regularly produces some of the state’s top talent.

Last Friday, we took a closer look at some of the immediate standouts who caught our attention with our Quick Hits. we published our Statistical Analysis on Friday, where we broke down the stat leaders from the more traditional categories. Today, we will take a further in-depth look at the top positional prospects with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.

5 Brady Mohns WI Brookfield Central 2026 3B 17.7 g

Body Rotation: A swing that has the appropriate relative contributions of body and bat rotations is an efficient and Powerful swing that maintains proper sequencing. An efficient baseball swing is one in which the body creates the initial movements, which is then transferred to the arms and out to the bat, thereby maximizing Bat Speed through this proximal-to-distal kinematic sequencing movement pattern.

Rank Name State School Class Pos Edge Score
1 Bo Behrendt WI Whitefish Bay 2026 RHP 83.44
2 Luke Schlosser WI Oconomowoc 2025 2B 83.06
3 Zach Rizzo WI St. Joseph 2026 1B 82.68

9 Ethan Bauerschmidt WI Tremper 2025 SS 80.02
10 Macay Wagner WI Slinger 2025 3B 77.81

The Edge Score is a comprehensive score out of 100 that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing athletes, parents, coaches and scouts with a benchmark number for assessing an athlete’s overall visual ability. In general the higher the Edge Score, the higher chance of athletic success. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard Five-Tools that make up a ball player.

The average Edge Score for the 2020 MLB Draft Class was 79.3 (of hitters who completed a Vizual Edge test). MLB players we've worked with typically show stronger scores, with elite hitters scoring consistently above 87.0 on their Edge Score.
