2023 ROSTER

Similarly to year’s past, this roster is shaping up nicely, and there’s some talented names headed our way next Tuesday.

3B Anthony Massa (Lincoln-Way West, 2024) posted impressive numbers this winter at our Lockport event with a max exit velocity of 96 mph and a max distance of 324’. OF/LHP Cody Delfavero (Morris, 2024) has shown toolsy attributes in the past with a 95 mph max exit velocity, 88 mph outfield velocity, and a 60-yard dash of 6.95. We saw RHP Jack Wilson (New Trier, 2024) this winter and he showed a fastball that topped at 83 mph with nearly 2400 rpm.

A trio of intriguing 2026s will be in attendance in OF/RHP Nolan Ramoley (Brother Rice), INF/RHP Griffin Meeker (Tremont), and MIF Jaylen Ware (Thornwood). Ramoley was recently at our Preseason All-State Underclass event this winter where he ran a 6.96 60-yard dash and produced a 94.2 mph max exit velocity. Meeker impressed our staff this spring where he started at second and batted in the heart of the lineup for his varsity squad, and Ware was a member of Team Illinois at the PBR Junior Future Games in 2021.

Perusing the event roster, we’re set to meet a majority of players who’ve not yet attended a PBR showcase, and we’re eager to add more names to our follow lists.

EVENT CHECK-IN PROCESS
