The Boston Red Sox select SS Jace Mataczynski (Hudson, 2026; Auburn) with the No. 96 overall pick. Mataczynski is the first prep pick from Wisconsin in this year's draft after leading the state with 13 HR this spring, all as the state's top defensive shortstop as well. #DirtyWater | #MLBDraft

RHP Hunter Buchan (Muskego, 2027) showing more loud stuff against a strong lineup. FB: 87-90 mph SL: 75-76 T82 mph early 🧹 Final line: 4.1 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, BB, 4 K Set to represent Team Heartland at the #PBSFG26. #17ABC

Another barrel from MIF/ATH Cash Olsen (Tomahawk, 2028) to the opposite field. Easy strength to all fields with feel to elevate; steady defender in the dirt with arm strength. #PBRatTheRock | @PrepBaseballWI

‘27 Mason Horn (WI, @masonhorn1532) providing a quality late-night look. 6’0” 175, @PurdueBaseball recruit. FB 85-88 SL 74-76 (S/M, 🧹🧹) Athletic mover w/ a quick arm stroke. One of the top lefties in @PrepBaseballWI 2027 group. #17ABC

Have liked the swings from ‘27 C Tristan Steger (IL, @TSteger_17) so far. 6’3 205. Smooth pace to deeper launch w/ on-plane flicky barrel presentation. Easy impacts; went 1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣ for a double amongst 3 hits👇 Kentucky recruit & #52 in the 🇺🇸 #17ABC || @ShooterHunt

Breakout game from SS/ATH Cash Olsen (Tomahawk, 2028) who comes away a high follow bat in the Badger State. On the barrel throughout his ABs with simple strength. Final line: 3-for-4, 2B, 3B, HR, 7 RBIs #PBRatTheRock | @PrepBaseballWI

Have liked the look of ‘29 SS Mason Leiterman (IL, @MasonLeiterman) at the dish this week. 5’11 160. On-plane stroke works w/ adjustability out-front. Gets a-swing off consistently. Strength gains will elevate. #15ABC || @PrepBaseballIL

‘30 C/IF Chris Worrell Jr. (WI) may be the best hitter in the park while playing up a grade. Innate feel to hit. + One-hops the wall backside + 95 mph PS 3B + batting .500 to this point in the week👍 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁. #15ABC || @ShooterHunt

Holden Hering's (@trentonthunder) most recent outing on Wednesday witnessed an inning of two strikeouts and no hits as he utilized an arsenal that's featured swing-and-miss stuff all season. ⚡ 👀 𝐎𝐕𝐑: 38.5% Whiff% / 32.9% Z-Whiff% 𝐅𝐁: 93.5 mph (T97.3), 2380 rpm, 16.5" IVB, 12.5" HB 𝐂𝐇: 82.1 mph, 1654 rpm, 3.6" IVB, 15.6" HB - 72.7% Whiff% / 75% Z-Whiff% 𝐒𝐋: 83 mph, 2592 rpm, -0.8" IVB, -5.1" HB 𝐂𝐁: 78.5 mph, 2426 rpm, -3.9" IVB, -7.8" HB @RazorbackBSB commit. @mlbdraftleague | @holden_hering | @WCoyoteBaseball

Strong look at OF/RHP Ira Hilbelink (Cedar Grove-Belgium, 2027) in the win. FB: 85-89 mph T91. CB: 75-77 mph, bite. CH: 81-83 mph. Final line: 5.1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 6 K At the plate: 4-for-4, 3 3B, 4 RBI Minnesota commit.

RHP Sutton Nelson (Waupun, 2029) looked like one of the state's best freshmen while facing among the most threatening lineups in Wisconsin. 5.1 IP, 3 BB, 9 K (19 whiffs) on 100 pitches 🔹FB: 84-87 (T88) mph; held 🔹SL: 74-76; advanced spin feel 🔹CH: 70-71

The No. 1-ranked player in Wisconsin comes up clutch for SJCA. OF Dominic Santarelli (2026) slugged a two-strike, two-out, two-run homer to put the Lancers up in the third inning. His ninth of the spring, 1.835 OPS coming into today. Lancers 2, Warriors 1 | B3 @prepbaseball | #MLBDraft

The Midwest Halos and Milwaukee Angels families want to send our thoughts and prayers to one of our former players and his family as he continues his recovery from a tragic incident that happened over the weekend.

Never ignore a D3 coach when they reach out. That coach lands a D1 job next year and you're the athlete who never responded. Respond to every coach at every level.
