On Monday February 17th, the Prep Baseball Illinois staff traveled to Bo Jackson’s Elite Sports in Lockport for the Lockport Preseason ID. This event is perennially one of our biggest on the winter calendar with over 130 prospects in attendance this year, and provides our staff one last look at the talent in the area before their spring seasons begin.

Today, we will continue our post-event process by rolling out the scouting reports for every infielder in attendance from the event. Be on the lookout for additional stories such as this one, as we will continue to move across the diamond rolling out reports position-by-position.

Mikey Menza (Hinsdale Central, 2028) missed the cut below but stood out with his left-handed bat on the day. He took one of the more polished rounds of BP at the event despite only being a freshman.

Charlie Zebig (Marmion, 2026) is another name that stood out, and he’s an uncommitted junior with an upside left-handed swing.

We’ve already released the Catcher Analysis and the Outfielder Analysis, and we’re continuing down the list as we roll out Infielders.
