2025 Illinois State Games RHP Analysis: Class of 2027


By: Illinois Scouting Staff

On August 5th and 6th, the Prep Baseball Illinois staff hosted the Illinois State Games, the premier invite-only event in our ecosystem. Now in its fourth year, the event has grown exponentially both in talent and in size, with this year wielding 20 teams with over 400 players in attendance.

There are already over 85 commitments from this event, with many more still to come. Check out our State Games Commitment Tracker, HERE.

Today, we are continuing our post-event rollout with a look at every single 2027 right-hander that was in attendance.

A big right-hander to know from the day is Kobe Jordan (Providence Catholic). He’s an intimidating presence on the mound at 6-foot-5, 215-pounds and he has the arm-strength to go with it, working his fastball up to 87 mph in gameplay. He’s an easy mover with more likely in the tank, and he’s an uncommitted name to keep an eye on this coming season.
