8/08/23

OF/INF Patrick Connors (Hinsdale Central, 2026) impressed at this event last year, and the right-handed hitting utility man continues to look the part as an advanced right-handed bat in the state’s sophomore group. In BP, Connors swung a clean, controlled barrel with a loose, easy all-around operation that consistently stayed on the barrel. He translated that knack for hitting to the gameplay portion, where Connors totaled four hits, and he didn’t strikeout, either. Defensively, Connors is a free-flowing mover in the outfield with confident, athletic actions to pair.

Junior Futures Games: Game four versus Team Oklahoma tasked Team Illinois with a matchup against a talented pitcher who reached an 86 mph high on the mound. That high-end arm woke the bats up and the team won 11-8 nonetheless. Patrick Connors led the way with two hits and one being a triple which was crushed to the right-center gap. Connors has a simple approach at the plate which allows him to get the barrel to contact consistently. He frequently squared up baseballs throughout the week.

Fresh off a trip to LakePoint as a member of Team Illinois at the Junior Future Games, OF Patrick Connors (Hinsdale Central, 2026) more than comfortably fit in amongst an older crowd at this event.

A 7.05 runner with an upside 5-foot-10, 155-pound frame, Connors continues to prove he’s a name to know in the Illinois’ 2026 class.
