On Sunday, August 24th, the Prep Baseball Illinois staff capped off their summer calendar with the Last Chance ID at Ozinga Field in Crestwood, IL. This event was host to over 50 players from around the state and across numerous grad classes - giving our staff one final look before we moved onto the fall circuit.

Today, we are taking a look at every single pitcher from the day, along with a Top-10 ranking of who our staff thought showed the best on the day.
