Future Prospects Showcase - The MAX: Analysis


By Drew Locascio
Illinois Scouting Director

On Sunday, March 8th the PBR Illinois staff hosted the Future Prospects Showcase & Educational Camp at The MAX sports complex in McCook, IL. This event featured over 80 seventh and eighth graders looking to showcase their skills.

This showcase has a dual function: to teach prospects about the showcase atmosphere and the recruiting process as well as to identify young talent coming through Illinois over the next handful of years.

One prospect who put his name firmly on the map as a high-level 2024 to get to know is C/INF Randall Nauden (Marian Catholic). The athletically-built, 5-foot-9, 164-pound worked out on the infield and behind the plate, showing elite arm strength from both spots. Nauden's arm plays especially well from behind the plate where he throws a true, accurate ball with carry and late life at 80 mph. The high-level talent also took a loud round of BP showing off loose, strong hands and making a lot of hard gap-to-gap contact. 

Another big winner who will deserve plenty of attention moving forward was LHP Simon Skroch (Yorkville, 2024). Skroch has a well-proportioned, 5-foot-10, 135-pound frame with plenty of room for continued physical development. Skroch's arm works clean, quick and he ran his fastball up to 82 mph with feel for a three-pitch mix. Both of Skroch's off-speed offerings are thrown with arm speed, have action and feel. 

There are plenty other young prospects below who are bound to make an impact in the state in coming years.
