On August 3rd and 4th, our staff traveled to the Rantoul Family Sports Complex to host the Illinois State Games, the premier invite-only event in the state. Each year has proven to be a success, with hundreds of players having committed to play at the next level throughout the years - and just over 100 from this year alone up to this point. 

This year was host to 20 total teams and nearly 400 players, going through a pro-style workout followed by gameplay with over 100 coaches in attendance. 

Today, we are continuing our post-event rollout with a look at every single class of 2028/2029 pitcher that was in attendance, with a ranking of who our staff thought showed the best collectively in the event by combining gameplay stats and measurable data.
