Lockport Preseason ID: Outfield Analysis


Illinois Scouting Staff

On Monday, February 19, the Prep Baseball Illinois staff hosted the Lockport Preseason ID at Bo Jackson's Elite Sports in Lockport, Illinois. Perennially one of our largest events, this year's event was host to nearly 170 prospects from around the state, giving our staff an in-depth look at a number of talented players before the spring season took off. 

We started our post-event content with a look at all of the catchers from the event yesterday, and we'll keep rolling today with a look at the outfielders. 

A couple sophomores from Lockport that stood out are Nick Moerman and David Kundrat

Moerman turned in some impressive measurables with a 6.77 in the 60-yard dash, a 90 mph exit velocity and also reached up to 81 mph from the outfield. 

Kundrat impressed throughout BP with a loose, effortless stroke, showing a polished feel to hit with a max EV of 90 mph. 

Colin Pacholek-Mayer (Downers Grove South, 2025) is a physical 6-foot, 195-pound right-handed hitter, and he took one of the louder rounds of BP on the day with a max EV of 94 mph, averaging 88.5 mph with a max distance of 335’.
