Another big winner from Illinois from this event was C Tyler Gurski (Glenwood, 2025), as the 5-foot-11, 175-pound backstop had one of the all-around more loud workouts. Athletically, Gurski showed well across the board, running a 6.97 60, jumping 34.5 inches in the vertical, and posting an RSI jump score of 2.82, which was one of the higher marks of the day. At the plate, Gurski consistently elevated the baseball to the pull-side from a long, leveraged right-handed swing that produced hard contact off the barrel on average (88.1 mph) and at peak (93.4 mph). His furthest ball traveled 352 feet, though he routinely swatted deep contact (306 ft. average) throughout his round. Defensively, Gurski popped in the 1.94-to-2.05 range and threw his hardest bullet at 76 mph.
