This Tuesday, June 10th, the Prep Baseball Illinois team is hosting the Chicagoland Summer ID at Triton JC in River Grove, IL. This is an open event for all high school classes (2026-29), and gives our staff an ample look at the area's top players.

For a closer look at the showcase details and the technologies we'll have on-site to assist our in-person evaluation for all in attendance, click here. For a complete look at those registered to attend this event, view the most up-to-date version of the roster by clicking here.

EVENT HISTORY

We've been hosting this event for the past 12 years, and it's consistently provided us a look at prominent players who've later gone on to receive invitations to select events, like the Prep Baseball Future Games and Illinois State Games. Among the players in attendance at this event in 2024, there are already 10 commitments among them.

We're looking forward to checking in on the next crop of talent from this event to earn next-level attention in the coming weeks, months, and years.

2025 ROSTER

This year's roster is already shaping up nicely, just like in years past.

Langston Booth RHP / OF / Loyola Academy, IL / 2027

From 7/22/24: "...is a physical 6-foot-2, 180-pound right-handed bat that used the whole field throughout his round. He led the event in max batted ball distance at 373 feet, while notching a max exit velocity of 97.9 mph during his round. Booth also hopped on the mound and topped out at 83 mph with his fastball."

Gavin Fuscone SS / RHP / St. Charles East, IL / 2026

From 7/17/24: "Fuscone showed an intriguing two-way profile this past weekend, highlighted by a projectable 6-foot-4, 190-pound frame. At the plate, the right-handed hitter showed athletic movements, standing upright with his hands high and a simple trigger. On the mound, the right-handed pitcher showed a two-pitch mix with feel for spin on his fastball, which sat in the 82-85 mph range (2200-2400 rpm) and was paired with a slider in the 73-75 mph range."

Perusing the event roster, we’re set to meet a majority of players who’ve not yet attended a Prep Baseball showcase, and we’re eager to add more names to our follow lists.

EVENT CHECK-IN PROCESS

Because of the high number of prospects set to attend Tuesday’s event, it is imperative that you read our adjusted showcase itinerary below, which will allow our staff to swiftly and efficiently educate and evaluate the players set to attend.

Additionally, in an effort to continue and develop contactless check-in strategies, upon arrival, players will scan a QR Code with their smart phone camera that will lead them to a Google Form. On that Form, players will enter their name (matching the spelling on their PB profile) and hit submit. Upon submission, players will be prompted to click a link that will direct them to their jersey color and number, located next to their registered name.
