MIF Karlos Otero (Romeoville, 2025) swiftly moved around the infield turf, showcasing advanced up-the-middle actions defensively throughout the Future Games. Otero defends with plenty of rhythm and confidence, and he should have no issue sticking on the infield in the long run. He has the athleticism to do so as well, running a 6.79 60 while reaching 20.6 mph at peak speed. Offensively, Otero swings a short, simple, and easy right-handed barrel that works on top of the baseball, high bat-to-ball oriented swing, and he put together competitive at-bats consistently as the week rolled on.
PBR Future Games: MIF Karlos Otero (Romeoville, 2025) put together one of the smoother workouts of the day for Team Illinois. Measuring at 5-foot-9, 163 pounds, Otero’s athleticism and body control were on full display, running a 6.79 60-yard dash with a 1.69 10-yard split. The right-handed hitter has an extremely simple, quiet and repeatable approach, consistently staying on balance and on the barrel throughout his round. Defensively, Otero continued to shine where he is a fluid, fundamentally sound middle infielder with confident hands and the ability to play on the move with ease and body control. He also showed off plenty of arm strength to stay on the left side of the diamond long term, topping at 87 mph.

PBR Future Games: INF Brady Green (Oak Park-River Forest) is another high-motor player with physicality to know on Team Illinois. Green, who’s built at a strong, compact 5-foot-11, 170-pounds, squared up one of the hardest balls in BP (97.1 mph) of all Team Illinois’ players during Wednesday’s workout. His best showing offensively was against Pennsylvania in game one, where he doubled down the left field line and scored a run, while also posting a 4.37 down the line on a groundout. We’ve long known Green as a quality defender too and this week was no different, as he moved around the infield fluidly with steady glovework to pair.
Romeoville went 2-2 on the week with two wins over Plainfield South (7-6 & 6-4). Otero was a big factor in their wins last week going 8-for-14 (.615) with a double, six RBIs, five runs scored, no strikeouts, six stolen bases, and no errors in the infield. In their 9-8 loss to Plainfield South, Otero went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, and a stolen base. He added a hit with two RBIs, a walk and a stolen base in their 7-6 win over Plainfield South. He went a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBIs, two runs scored, and two stolen bases in their 6-4 win over Plainfield South.

INF Karlos Otero (Romeoville, 2025) was one of the biggest winners when it comes to current unranked prospects who attended the event. The 5-foot-9, 150-pound, well-proportioned, right-handed hitting infielder has a calm, quiet demeanor in the box, lets the ball get deep, stays short and direct to the ball with a repeatable swing and the ability to backspin line-drives back up the middle of the field. Otero's defense was on the rise as well, roaming the infield with athleticism and confidence - making plays to both sides of his glove look easy with range and soft hands. He also has added on some arm-strength, eight mph since the summer to be exact - reaching up to 88 mph across the diamond.
