Notes

7/17/24
Currently ranked No. 19 in the state. Sparkplug at the top of the order all weekend for the Tigers Scout Team. Flat left-handed swing that stays through the zone, looks to spray the ball to all fields, advanced bat-to-ball and barrel control. High-level defender in the outfield with range and a quick first step, covers ground with ease. High-level prospect to know in the state.
5/02/24

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.

2/17/24

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.

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.

Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 81.3 mph. 266’ max distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 79 mph. Short arm action, high 3/4 slot.

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.
