Preseason All-State: Infield Analysis


By Drew Locascio & Diego Solares
Illinois Staff

On Feb. 9, PBR Illinois hosted one of its biggest showcases on its annual calendar: The Preseason All-State. This invite-only showcase brings together the state’s best talent in its 2021 class, regardless if a player is committed or not. Over 110 of Illinois’ best juniors made it to McCook last month, many of whom remain uncommitted. Monday marked the start of our position-by-position breakdown of the event with a look at the catchers.

Today we take a look at the 38 infielders that were in attendance. There were a number of uncommitted prospects who showed the ability to stick on the dirt defensively moving forward.

Of all the infielders, 1B Al Holguin (St. Rita), had arguably the most impressive day. The physical left-handed hitter showed loose, athletic strong hands at the plate, a fluid repeatable swing and made a bunch of hard gap-to-gap contact that looks fit for the middle of a lineup. Defensively, he was one of the top defensive first baseman in the group as well. 

Read on below for reports on all of the infielders from the event.
