Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 78 in Illinois and listed at 6-foot-3, 187-pounds. The right-handed hitting sophomore got the start in centerfield and batted third for the Blackhawks. Tall setup, minimal movement pre-pitch, uses a short striding motion to start his swing. Athletic, loose swing on a level plane, uses the whole field.

Currently slotted at No. 68 in the state, the right-handed hitter displayed loose hands with a flat path, making a clear effort to work the ball on a line and stay on top of the baseball. He was on the barrel throughout his round, averaging 85.9 mph for his EV with a max of 93.6 mph. He’s an above-average athlete, recording a 7.01 in the 60 to pair with an impressive 34.3” vertical jump.

Run: 7.01 runner in the 60.
Atkins was on base all three times today for Top Tier. Batting out of the two-hole, he collected two hits and a walk, including a triple. Atkins played left field for Top Tier today and is a bat to keep an eye on moving forward this weekend.
OF Mason Atkins (West Aurora, 2026) has a 6-foot-2, 175-pound, athletic, upside frame and ran a clean 7.25 60 that is bound to improve down the road. He swings a controlled, intentful right-handed bat that stays on-plane and was on the barrel while staying up the middle of the field. In the outfield, he works aggressively to the baseball and breaks down through release with controlled natural actions and sure hands. His arm topped at 77 mph. 2026 prospect with upside to all parts of his game.
