Kuglitsch was impressive as a sophomore throughout the spring and the summer, with his most recent look arguably being the look that stands out the most.

Scouting Report

Florida State Commit. Kuglitsch had quite an impressive weekend, showing well both on the mound and at the plate. Offensively, his quiet presence and elite athleticism stand out. In setup, the right-handed hitter presents an athletic base, staying athletic throughout his swing, creating a good position of impact for his uphill bat path. On the mound, the right-handed pitcher came from a high 3/4s arm slot and showed controlled movements with an 89-91 mph fastball and mid-70s breaking ball. Wiry 6-foot-2, 173-pound frame.

RHP/SS Ben Kuglitsch (Muskego, 2026) cemented his status as one of the top players in his class on Saturday, with one of the top showings of the day. Starting on the mound, Kuglitsch is a clean and athletic mover downhill, pairing it with a loose arm that produced some of the event's top fastball velocities. During his ‘pen lit it up as he ran his lively fastball up to 91.3 mph and also featured over 16” of induced vertical break. As for offspeeds, he spun in a mid-to-upper-70s slider with quick downer break that he was able to spot up low in the zone. His changeup was also a quality offering, as it plays with fading action while being thrown at arm speed. Kuglitsch also put together one of the top overall days as a position player, too - his 6.92 60-yard dash was the best of the event. Offensively, he has loose hands with a flat bat path and extension through the ball, controlling his body and his levers well to hit the ball hard and elevate. Defensively he has a quick first step and soft hands with the ability to stick on the left-side of the infield at the next-level, with an arm that reached 90 mph across the diamond. This was just the most recent standout performance that Kuglitsch has put together in front of our staff during his short prep career, and it probably won't be his last.
