On Tuesday, July 8th, the Prep Baseball Illinois staff traveled to the Corn Crib in Normal, Illinois for the Central Illinois Summer ID. This open event was host to nearly 60 players, mostly from the central region of the state, and it consistently gives our staff a strong look at the talent the area has to offer.

Today, we are starting our post-event rollout with a look at every single position player from the day, along with a top-5 ranking of who our staff thought showed the best in the workout, found below.
