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.

Today, we are continuing our post-event rollout with a look at every single 2028 outfielder that was in attendance.

A number of these rising sophomores stood out at the event and ultimately made an impact in the recently updated 2028 Illinois rankings. Plenty of young names to follow moving forward, especially next summer when the Future Games is on the horizon.

Read on below for a look at all of the outfielders from the two-day invite-only event.
