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 75 commitments from this event, with many more still to come. Check out our State Games Commitment Tracker, HERE.
