A 2025 Arkansas Razorbacks pitching commit who’s also the state’s top-ranked arm will be the only Arkansan participating in the inaugural Prep Baseball Report High School All-American Game in Milwaukee. The game will be held at American Family Field, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, Saturday, Sept. 23.
The event will feature the nation’s top high school seniors who are set to battle against a roster of the country’s best juniors in Class of 2024 vs. Class of 2025 action, giving pro scouts a unique look at the current and following draft classes.
The game will include only one participant from the state of Arkansas, Batesville’s Mark Brissey. Brissey is Prep Baseball’s top-ranked arm in the state and a 2025 Arkansas Razorback pitching commit.
Prep Baseball’s Diego Solares said impressive things about Brissey.
“Throughout our full state tour on the Preseason ID circuit there were multiple players that caught our attention but none more than physical right handed pitcher Brissey,” Solares said. “Brissey threw an impressive bullpen this past Sunday in Jonesboro that saw the fastball tick up to 93 mph with a ton of arm side run. To pair the fastball he used a big 74-76 mph curveball with 2667 spin average and a ton of sweeping action that gets the ball darting a different way than the fastball and then showed some feel for a fading changeup in the 81-84 mph range. At 6-foot-3 and 205-pounds, Brissey has the room and size to add even more strength in his remaining three years of high school before he lands on campus in Fayetteville to play for the Razorbacks. We expect to see even bigger jumps from Brissey, and he has the potential to being one of the top power arms in the country for the 2025 class.”
