On Sunday, Feb. 26, the PBR Illinois team hosted the Joliet Preseason ID at Rhino Baseball Academy in Shorewood, Ill. The final winter event of 2023 featured 120 players from the surrounding area and gave our staff an in-depth look at numerous prospects before the IHSA season takes off.

Today, we continue our positional analysis from the event with a look at the infielders in attendance.

Dominic Stottler (United Township) and James Feigleson (St. Charles East) are two freshman infielders with upsides to their game and just missed out on the top-five below.

Another prospect of note was 2025 left/left, 1B Colin Pfeifer (Morris). Pfeiffer showed natural feel around the first base bag and an easy, uphill swing.

Read on below for a look at all of the infielders from the event.
