On Sunday, February 11, our staff hosted the O’Hare Preseason ID at Bo Jackson’s Elite Sports in Bensenville, IL. This event is consistently one of the largest on our winter calendar, and this year was no different, as just over 200 prospects were in attendance. 

We started our post event content yesterday with a look at the catchers, and today we will be breaking down every single outfielder that was in attendance at the event, including a top-10 ranking of who our staff believed showed the best on the day. 

Two freshmen at Lane Tech that deserve a mention are Ethan Data and Nathan Wong. 

Data, a physical 6-foot-1, 187-pound left-handed hitter, impressed with a loud round of BP on the day, working his max EV up to 95.7 mph with a max distance of 322'. He also moves well for his size, recording a 7.30 in the 60.

Wong will be a name to know as he continues to develop physically. He’s an advanced runner with a 6.92 in the 60, and his athleticism easily transfers to the outfield with a quick first step and agile footwork. He also has a simple right-handed swing that should continue to trend up in the coming years. 

Continue reading below for a look at the top outfield prospects on the day.
