2015 National Pre-Draft Showcase
May 18, 2015 – Cedar Rapids, IA
2016 Top Prospects
Alec Marsh – RHP – 2016 – Milwaukee, WI
Marsh has good upside on the mound as this 2016 has a good pitching build with room to fill out. He pitched in the 87-89 range and mixed in a sharp cutter at 85. Fastball had good life when down in the zone. Will be an interesting to see his development over the next year.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel – May 2nd, 2015:
“The junior right-hander threw the first no-hitter in school history Thursday, posting 19 strikeouts and walking just two in a 7-0 victory over Milwaukee Hamilton. Marsh, who also went 2 for 3 with two RBI in the contest, is 3-2 with a 0.91 ERA and 49 strikeouts in 23 innings. He also is hitting .475 with 21 RBI and one home run.”
Prep Baseball Report’s National Supervisor Nathan Rode, travels coast to coast to see the top athletes. He provides analysis and interviews some of the best players in the nation. Alec was the featured prospect in Mr. Rode’s March 20th article.
In the world of recruiting and the draft, here are some noteworthy news items from this week…2016 RHP Alec Marsh (Reagan College Prep, WI) has blossomed into one of Wisconsin’s top arms in an already deep class of prospects. He has been making steady progress in the last year and sat 90-91 mph, touching 92, at the Madison Preseason ID showcase last weekend. He has good athleticism that makes him an attractive two-way prospect, but his mound presence and command of the zone gives him more upside as a pitcher. He is young in the face and has room to fill out his 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame. Marsh has seen a ton of interest from colleges in recent weeks, hearing from a long list of schools. He lists his favorites as Florida, Georgia, Illinois State, Kentucky, North Carolina and Vanderbilt.

However, the team’s biggest strength may be a newcomer. Junior Alec Marsh, who is one of the best pitchers in Wisconsin’s junior class, will play for the Huskies this spring. Marsh recently touched 92 MPH with his fastball, and he should dominate City Conference hitters with his repertoire. With the best pitching staff in the conference, the Huskies are the strong favorites to repeat as champions.

Today the Prep Baseball Report published an update of the class of 2016 player rankings. I’m excited to see that I’ve made it into the overall top 10!
Steve Nielsen, Scouting Supervisor for Wisconsin & Illinois said “Marsh has always been a projectable arm that has shown command and an easy arm action, but now has added the velocity to go with it. The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder sat 87 mph at the Southern Wisconsin Open touching 88 mph on his last pitch. The sky is the limit for Marsh as he moves his way into the top ten at No. 8.”
Seems fitting that I’d be number 8 in the state, since ‘I’ve worn the number 8 jersey for the past 5 years. LOL!
I’m excited to see what opportunities come with this exciting development!
I’ve been very busy this autumn. Fall Ball began back in early August and I’ve played all over the midwest, against a much higher level of competition than I saw most of the summer. Much to my surprise, PT invited me to move up and play with the U17 team. I saw faster pitchers, better batters and tougher competition. Despite all of this, I found my stats improving dramatically.
I hit five home runs in the Fall season and I had one of the best RBI averages in the organization. I was placed as the 5 hitter in the line up, and was able to make a lot of runs, when we really needed them.
I also saw a lot of improvement on the mound. I pitched a perfect game, and brought my walk ratio way down. I spent more time with Cody ( my head coach ) on speed, strength and form. I finally threw over 90 mph for the first time in my life at the Sandlot ( our practice space ). I was clocked consistently in the mid 80s at many of our games, and my pitch diversity has really gotten much better.
I ended the Fall with a trip to the Prep Baseball Report Southern Wisconsin Open, in Oconomowoc this weekend. I was pleased with my offensive stats, and I was able to hit 88 mph on the mound, and sat at 87 throughout the showcase. I’m excited to get my stats back from PBR
Hi.
It’s Alec here.
This is my first blog post ever and I have a lot to talk about. The summer baseball season is coming to an end and it’s been a great run so far with the PT spiders. Last weekend we traveled to Columbus Indiana looking for our 5th tournament win, and we got it. Out if the 11 tourneys we have played in so far 9 of them we have been in the championship and we have won 5 of them. It’s been a great start for the PT organization.
Back to this weekend I have a lot to get through.
Recently I have been struggling with my defense at third base, mainly throwing to first. I realize now that I have gotten inside my own head. During warm up and practice I make the throws perfectly like I should do but come game time something just comes in my head right before I throw the ball and it’s been really bringing down my confidence. This weekend alone I have made close to 6 errors, the most I have ever made in one weekend and my goal is to limit it to 1 maybe 2 a weekend. I just need to find something to block my thinking when I am in the field because I know I am a great defensive player and it will come around.
Next is batting. This weekend my bat was on fire I was hitting the ball everywhere I needed to and driving in runs when it counted most. I was happy with my line drives but something still doesn’t feel right. I want to be the hitter that everyone knows I am. I showed that this weekend but I feel the power wasn’t there. I didn’t hit any home runs and it’s getting kind of old because I know I can hit the long ball it’s just a matter of time I guess. I am going to keep working at picking my pitch and that pitch is the one I know I can take it out of the yard.
Thanks for visiting my site. My next tournament is July 20-21 in Franklin Wisconsin.
