On Saturday, Feb. 11, the PBR Illinois team hosted the McHenry Rising Stars ID at Pro Player Academy in McHenry, Ill. This event served as an open identifier into the state's 2027 and 2028 graduates, providing our staff an early look at the area's top players as they continue to progress as prospects.

These early Rising Stars events also serve as key identifiers for future invite-only events, including the Prep Baseball Report Junior Future Games and others down the road. 

Today we conclude the event with a look at all of the scouting reports from the day. Read on below for a look at each and every prospect from the event.
