On Sunday, Feb. 12, the PBR Illinois staff traveled to the Bo Jackson Elite Sports Dome in Bensenville, Ill., to host the O'Hare Preseason ID - one of the largest showcases on our winter calendar. This event provided us an ample opportunity to check-in on some of the area’s high school prospects and identify several names as we prepared for the IHSA season, as well as future invite-only events on the PBR Illinois calendar. 

We continue the positional analysis of the event with a look at the long list of the infielders from the day. 

INF Noah Fitzgerald (Lyons Township, 2025) is an athletic middle infield defender who just missed out on the Top-15 below but deserves a mention. Fitzgerald ran a 6.89 60 and showed well-above average infield action with quick, bouncy feet, advanced glove presentation and soft hands.
