November 20, 2025
2025 has been an eventful year for the Prep Baseball Illinois staff. We have hosted over 40 events exclusive to the high school ranks and compiled data on numerous players. Some players showed up for one event, and some showed up for several. Either way, we got to see some of the top talent throughout the state. We released our 2025 Event Leaderboard late last month to show off some of the top performers. Today, let's look at the top 75 max breaking ball spin rates from throughout the year at our events.
