Prep Baseball Report

The Best of the Kenosha I.D.: Jack Heiring


By Andy Sroka
Staff Writer, Associate Scout

On Saturday, Jan. 25, the PBR Wisconsin team will host its first showcase of the 2020 season at the Fielder’s Choice Training Facility in Kenosha, Wis., for the annual Kenosha Preseason I.D. showcase.

You can still register for Saturday’s showcase by clicking the hyperlink above.

Throughout this week, we’re highlighting some of this showcase’s top performers over the last few years. Next up in the series is OF/LHP Jack Heiring (Christian Life), who’s committed to Southeastern CC in Iowa. Heiring is currently the No. 38-ranked prospect in the state’s senior class and is a particularly interesting upside athlete. He’ll bring with him to Iowa two-way potential – he’s a sub-6.90 runner with arm strength and looks like a natural route runner in the outfield with a loose, fast bat. On the mound, he’s been up to 85 mph but his size and athleticism suggest that there’s more to be gleaned from him on the rubber.

You can find scouting reports collected over the last three years from Heiring below.
