Iowa - Every year at the Super 60, players make their mark and give reason to be followed closely throughout the spring. The 24th edition of the event took place February 2nd, 2025 with top 2025 prospects from across the U.S. and Canada. It was an electric day, with loud rounds of batting practice and some eye-opening bullpen sessions. As always, there were several top draft prospects who came into the event with high expectations--and met them--as well as others who raised their stock.

This coming year's Super 60 event will take place on February 2nd, 2026 in Chicago. With that event ahead, let's take a look back at those who participated from the great state of Iowa.
