Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team First Look:

Lineup is full of grinders. More will be posted about the lineup as the Summer moves forward.

COLLEGE COACHES LOOK 👇

Pitchers:

@brantleyw13 is a big time strike thrower and competitor that sat 85-88 with a big time breaking ball! 📈 coming soon!

@DerekWenzel34 is a major competitor that fills the zone with all pitches. A go to guy for this group when there is a big spot was 86-88. With strength added the ⛽️ will be ⬆️.

@Daxprice01 is SPECIAL. End of discussion.

Mason Little comes from a low release and a bit of a crossfire. Extreme ⛽️ from the right hander as he sat 90-92 in his late inning appearance with a wipeout 80-82 mph slider.

@QuinnBirdsong quietly went out and completely dominated throwing 4-5 pitches for strikes at all times. 👀dar tells me the big body was throwing 🔥. Major major upside for Quinn.

@Brycek34 a virtual unknown might have been the story of the weekend. A high 8’s low 9’s FB paired with a wipeout slider allowed him to completely dominate in relief in game 3.

@DawsonStokan throws whiffle balls. No words needed as video from PBR video shows the nightmare he is on hitters. When he 📈 he will be unhittable.

@AjBonnette44 pitched in nasty conditions and was 88-90 with a wipeout breaking ball. It’s a short-arm release making it difficult for hitters to find the baseball. Major UPSIDE.

The ⛽️house gang allowed 1 ER the entire event at the NPI❗️❗️❗️There is no question that the 28 boys can REALLY PITCH .
