August 7, 2023
Kevin Cronin
Tech Analyst, Area Scout
From Wednesday, July 26, through Saturday, July 29, the Prep Baseball Report Future Games will take place at the LakePoint Sports Complex in Emerson, Georgia. This event will feature select uncommitted 2025 and 2026 prospects from our 40-plus state coverage area and Canada.

On Wednesday, Team Illinois participated in a pro-style workout, collecting unrivaled data with the help of our tech partners, such as athletic testing, batted ball data, and position velocities. To see all of the stat leaders from the event, click HERE.
Following Wednesday’s workout, Team Illinois played three simulated games over the next three days, finishing the week 2-1, and tying Team Ohio for the best record in the pool. Team Illinois defeated Pennysylvania in the opener 13-7, fell to Ohio 4-3 in game two, and wrapped up the event with a 9-6 win over Team Midwest on Saturday morning.
Last week, we took the time to compile our notes and summarize the week in totality with our takeaways story. Today, we will take a further in-depth look into the pitching staff we brought down with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:
