One of the top freshmen in the state, slotted at No. 18 overall in the Illinois’ 2027 rankings. Holds lean strength throughout his frame, wide back. Started in right field and hit leadoff for Father McGivney. Reached base three times; drew two walks, singled to the pull-side, and scored three runs. True table-setter atop a lineup; minimal swing-and-miss and zone expansion, gets on base often and can run. Has a .560 OBP in 84 plate appearances this spring with 24 walks and 18 stolen bases. Easy hand speed and twitch from the left-side, stays flat through the hitting zone with a short path to contact.
OF Omar Avalos Jr. (Father McGivney) came away from the PBR Junior Future Games last summer as one of the top performers for Team Illinois and is a top-20 prospect in the state’s 2027 class. With the bat, Avalos Jr. showed the typical bat-to-ball skills we are used to seeing, adding more bat strength in this look however with a further max batted distance (320 feet) than we’d previously seen. Defensively, he moved around the outfield comfortably with athletic feet and a loose, quick arm.
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 5-8, 160-pounds. Compact frame that holds lean strength throughout.
Hit: LHH. Tall narrow stance, slow and controlled load. Subtle lead leg lift, balanced through contact. Quick hands, loose and easy. Works slightly uphill to contact, repeats. On the barrel to the pull-side, gap-to-gap feel. 66.2 mph bat speed with 13 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 82 mph. 321’ max distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 81 mph. Loose, quick arm action, plays clean from a 3/4 arm slot with accuracy.
Defense: Athletic mover, attacks ball, fields cleanly and in-stride, moves well.
Run: 7.14 runner in the 60.
OF Omar Avalos (Father McGivney, 2027) has quickly made a name for himself this summer, capping off the circuit with performances at the PBR Junior Future Games and the Illinois State Games. Playing against older competition, Avalos didn’t let the moment get too big and showed that he belonged during his time in Rantoul. A 6.92 runner, the 5-foot-7, 150-pound left/left prospect has loads of athleticism and shows noticeable strength in his frame. Avalos has a knack for bat-to-barrel contact as he’s consistently been a tough out for pitchers. He can track the ball down in the outfield, too, and uses his speed to move efficiently. As he matures and gets stronger, Avalos’ metrics will likely increase, and he has positioned himself as one of Illinois’ premier 2027 prospects.
Positional Profile: OF
Body: 5-7, 150-pounds. Muscular, wide-shouldered build. Advanced strength and leverage for his age.
Hit: LHH. Balanced setup, minimal pre-pitch movement and stride. Controls the barrel, minimal wasted movement, line drive approach and uses the whole field. Creates leverage and sneaky thump off the barrel at times. 64.4 mph bat speed with 13 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 81.3 mph. 266’ max distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 79 mph. Short arm action, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: Plays through the baseball with intent, confident sure-handed, one-hand gather.
Run: 6.92 runner in the 60.

The lone 2027 graduate in attendance, OF Omar Avalos (Father McGivney; IL) is an intriguing athlete to follow as his high school career is set to start. Avalos ran a 7.15 60-yard dash, a noteworthy mark given his age, and he repeatedly produced pull-side line drives in BP from a flat, athletic left-handed swing. He reached the upper-80s exit velocity mark a handful of times, squaring his hardest ball up at 92.5 mph. Avalos moved well around the outfield too, playing around the baseball in rhythm with footwork feel to pair.
