On Sunday, Sept. 20th, the PBR Wisconsin staff kicked off our first showcase of the Fall season at the Milwaukee School of Engineering’s brand new baseball facility in Glendale to host our annual Senior Games event.

This event serves as a place for uncommitted senior prospects to showcase their skills and play against each other in a simulated game. It’s an excellent opportunity for these unsigned 2021 graduates to find a home at the next level, but carries even more weight this year, given the current global circumstances.

We started our post-event coverage yesterday by highlighting all the noteworthy performances from the event in our Quick Hits post. Today our staff takes a look at the statistical side of things, diving deeper into those that stood out from the data we collected.

TOP 60-YARD DASH

INF Adam Brestch (Marquette University, 2021) had himself an impressive all-around performance at the event and he’s someone we’ll highlight later on towards the top of other statistical categories as well. His athleticism was on display in multiple facets, primarily here, where he ran the event's fastest 60-yard dash time. Left/left OF Peyton Seebacher (Muskego, 2021) finished a few milliseconds behind Bretsch for the event lead, but he showed off his speed in-game, legging out a triple into the right-center game during his second at-bat.

MAX EXIT VELOCITY

3B/RHP Elijah Frank (Bay Port, 2021) is one of the more physical prospects we’ve seen throughout the summer and into the fall, boasting a hulking 6-foot-3, 215-pound athletic profile. His advanced raw power propelled him to the top of this event’s exit velocity leaderboard, and he translated it well into gameplay, smacking one 97 mph off the barrel for a double. C Zachary Alburg (Menomonee Falls, 2021) finished two ticks below Frank for the event lead and showed off his pop during batting practice, barreling one up at 95.6 mph off the bat, per TrackMan, and sending it 360 feet through the air. The aforementioned Bretsch and 3B Ben Johnson (New Berlin West, 2021) each recorded exit velocities of 91 mph off the tee and both found their respective barrels for loud contact throughout the event.

MAX FASTBALL VELOCITY

We mentioned RHP Carl Cano (Bay Port) in our event preview as someone to watch going into Sunday and he delivered, touching 88 mph with his fastball while routinely sitting in the 86-87 mph range. Aided by a loose, quick arm that works clean throughout his motion, Cano averages 2,292 rpm on his heater and works from a low release height (4.86 feet) giving it swing-and-miss potential up in the zone. Previously mentioned for his intriguing power potential at the dish, Frank has some intriguing traits on the mound, most noticeably his physicality. He touched 85 mph and averaged 18.2 inches of horizontal movement on his fastball. Another interesting arm to note is LHP Reece Piontek (Denmark, 2021), most notably for the projection left to come on a lanky 6-foot-2, 176-pound frame and the eye-popping characteristics on his fastball. Piontek’s fastball averaged 18.8 inches of vertical break, maxing out at 23.5 inches, and also averaged 2,155 rpms, allowing him to elevate that heater and get opposing batters to chase it at eye level. He’s certainly someone to follow moving forward as a potential breakout arm once the untapped velocity starts to come.

MAX INFIELD VELOCITY

Frank’s physical arm strength was on display here yet again, posting an event high on throws across the diamond. He profiles best in a corner spot moving forward and his strong arm with steady actions will allow him to do so adequately. Bretsch finished one tick behind him for the lead, but it was arguably Darryl Jackson (Milwaukee King, 2021) that had the most impressive showing. A quick-twitch athlete with sub-7.00 speed, Jackson showed well advanced actions up the middle in essentially every facet and performed at the plate too, solidifying himself as one of the state’s top uncommitted infield follows.

MAX OUTFIELD VELOCITY

OF Wolfgang Kalz (Appleton West, 2021) is a projectable 5-foot-10, 140-pound athlete with lean strength that ran a 6.91 mark in the 60-yard dash, and he also threw an event-high 83 mph from the outfield. Kalz brings some intriguing upside to the table and the tools are there for him to succeed at the next level should he add weight onto his slender frame. Both Frank and Seebacher finished one mph behind Kalz, each topping at 82 mph on their throws to home.

MAX CATCHER VELOCITY AND POP TIMES

Previously mentioned for his powerful right-handed stroke, Alburg was the only catcher in attendance on Sunday. He’s a bat-first prospect for now, but did show signs of success behind the dish with clean actions through release and accuracy down to the bag on his throws.
