Saturday gave us our first showcase look at SS Ben Kuglitsch (Muskego, 2026), who is one of the states top prospects, regardless of class. Kuglitsch, a top-85 ranked player in our national rankings, started off his day by running a 7.03 in the 60-yard dash, which speaks to the advanced athleticism Kuglitsch currently possesses. He then moved over to the infield defense portion of the event and there he really stole the show. While on the infield, Kuglitsch is an athletic mover with fluid actions that point to him having the ability to stick at the shortstop position in the long run, and he pairs his advanced actions with a advanced arm that topped at 89 mph across the diamond. Offensively, Kuglitsch sets up with rhythm and utilizes a free and easy swing that creates leverage to drive the ball hard to all parts of the field. He registered some of the day's loudest metrics, with a 93.7 mph max exit velocity, and an average bat speed of 73.9 mph. Overall, Kuglitsch is an advanced prospect within the states talented freshman class and his performance at the MOSH was just the first of many impressive ones we expect to see throughout his prep career.
Positional Profile: SS
Body: 6-2, 165-pounds. Long levers, super projectable.
Hit: RHH. Strock set up, upright narrow. Athletic, rhythmic, smooth, free and easy, short and quick, long through the ball, creates leverage, hammers balls all over the field.
Power: 94 max exit velocity, averaged 78.1 mph. 337’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 89 mph. Quick arm, consistent, repeats, carry through the target, accurate.
Defense: Two-hand gather, fluid actions, moves well laterally, soft hands, athletic, accurate.
Run: 7.03 runner in the 60.
Kuglitsch slots in at the second spot on our first look at this class. At a wiry and projectable 6-foot-2, 155 pounds, Kuglitsch first made himself known to our staff at the summer championships at The Rock. Using a short compact stroke with very quick hands, Kuglitsch’s hit and power tools stood out to us with his ability to hit balls hard to all over the diamond and loft balls over the fence. His power will continue to be one of his carrying tools as his frame will continue to fill out and get stronger. Additionally, Kuglitsch has smooth athletic actions at shortstop with plenty of arm to stick on the left side of the diamond. Kuglitsch also impresses on the mound with a fastball up to 85 mph and ability to use his offspeed for strikes. Kuglitsch has an extremely high ceiling and is one of the more exciting prospects to keep an eye on going forward.
Premium frame, proportional with sloped shoulders and long levers, plenty of room to fill out. Burst and quickness to the athlete, clean actions. Direct handsy swing with whippy bat speed, sees the ball, good swing decisions, battles in at bat. Actions to stick at SS, good clock and rhythm.
