College of DuPage Scout Day: Takeaways

October 7, 2025
Illinois Scouting Staff

On Thursday, September 25th, the Prep Baseball Illinois staff traveled to the College of DuPage to host the COD Scout Day, going through a pro-style workout with just over 20 of their players.

Today, we are taking a look at some of the biggest standouts from the day with scouting reports and videos, below. 

Hitters

+ FR. C Rocco Damato (Westmont, IL) took one of the more polished rounds of BP on the day. The right-handed hitter worked on the barrel with a fluid and easy swing, showing rhythm and balance throughout his round with a whole field approach. He showed quality actions behind the plate with clean receiving actions and a steady transfer, reaching as low as 2.06 for his pop-time with a peak velocity of 73 mph. 

+ FR. INF Luke Fordonski (Downers Grove North, IL) gave a strong all-around showing in our look. He’s athletically built at 6-foot, 175-pounds and there is still room to add on strength in his proportionate frame. He’s a well above-average runner with a 6.6 in the 60, and he looks to be a fluid defender on the dirt with soft hands and easy actions through the baseball, looks to profile there at the next level. Clean, athletic arm that can play from multiple angles, T83 mph. At the plate, the right-handed hitter has a flat swing with length through the zone, line-drive approach middle and pull-side, peaking at 95 mph for his EV. 

+ FR. OF Wilson Terrutty (Oswego East, IL) is a newcomer that has a chance to be an impact performer for the Chaps. He has some loud tools across the board, boasting a 6.73 in the 60 with athletic actions in the outfield. He has an easy swing from the right side with natural lift at times to his pull-side, showing the ability to impact the baseball with minimal perceived effort and a peak EV of 99 mph, averaging 90 mph throughout his round. There is room for even more power potential as well to his 5-foot-10, 174-pound frame. 

+ FR. CIF Jesus Torres (Willowbrook, IL) took one of the louder rounds of BP on the day. He has an intentful right-handed swing that worked on the barrel, working flat through the zone with a pull-side approach and lift at times, peaking at 95 mph for his EV with a 361’ max distance. Steady, soft hands at third base, clean glove to hand. 

+ RSO. MIF Hudson Williams (Wheaton Academy, IL) is coming off a big year in 2024 in which he earned First Team All-Region honors, and he looks to be in a prime position to repeat his success. He was one, if not the biggest overall winner on the day on both sides of the ball. At the plate, the right-handed hitter has an athletic and balanced swing that works on top of the baseball with a direct path, showing a fluid swing and barrel accuracy with a peak EV of 96 mph. He profiles on the dirt up the middle at the next level with fluid hands/feet, natural actions, timing through the baseball and feel for the position - extremely comfortable going to his backhand deep in the hole. His arm is athletic and clean with the ability to play on the move and from multiple angles, T85 mph. Also a 6.75 runner in the 60 with a lean, trim 6-foot, 180-pound frame. 

+ SO. OF Kyle Boma (St. Patrick, IL) is an athletic L/L prospect to know for the Chaps. He has a compact, athletic build with some present strength, listed at 5-foot-10, 160-pounds. He worked on the barrel with a line-drive approach in BP, working mostly middle/pull-side with a peak EV of 90 mph, athletic hands with some twitch. Athletic defender in the outfield with fluid feet and range, 6.88 runner and T83 mph from a crowhop. 

+ FR. OF Max Kalish (Maryville Christian, IL) is an upside L/L outfielder to follow. He has a loose, fluid swing and load with a mostly flat path, upside operation with a peak EV of 90 mph - kept the ball on a line for most of his round. 

+ SO. OF Nathan McBroom (Minooka, IL) had a quality showing for our staff. There’s some present strength in his 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame and he moves well for his size with a 7.01 in the 60. He has an intentful swing from the right side with a flat path, creates extension through the zone and through impact, 90 mph peak EV in this look. Strong arm from the outfield with carry and life out of the hand, T87 mph. 

Two-Ways

+ RSO. 1B/RHP Cullen Kleinsasser (Lee’s Summit West, MO) is a two-way prospect to watch for this coming season - returning a .289 average in 40 games last spring with 15 doubles. There is plenty of physicality in his 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame, and it easily shows at the plate with EVs around the 100 mph mark, averaging 93 mph in his round. He has a simple swing with no stride, coiling into his back hip before firing through with intent to elevate pull-side. He also showed present arm-strength on the mound, working 83-85 mph with the fastball and also showing a CB/CH mix in the low/mid-70s. 

Pitchers

+ SO. LHP Oliver Dew (Willowbrook, IL) looks to be a top returner for the Chaps on the mound for this coming season, striking out 17 across 12 innings last year. He’s 6-foot-1, 185-pounds with long levers and room to add more strength across his high-waisted frame. Easy mover that works exclusively out of the stretch, slight coil into balance point while holding a pre-bend in the back knee down the mound, works in-line. Lower arm slot with some looseness and deception. Fastball worked 83-85 mph with natural sink, set up a changeup that he sold with arm-speed at 74-77 mph, similar profile to the fastball with feel for the offering. Curveball is also a potential weapon at 65-66 mph, averaged -14.4 inches of IVB.
