On Monday, February 16th, our staff traveled to Bo Jackson’s Elite Sports in Lockport, IL for the Lockport Preseason ID. Historically one of our largest and more talented events, this year proved to be no different with roughly 150 players from around the state in attendance showing off their off-season gains. 

Today, we are continuing our post-event rollout with a look at every single outfielder from the day, found below. 

Junior Seamus O’Meara (Nazareth Academy) is a name to know from the day, pairing impressive power with speed for his size (101 mph EV: 7.00 60-time). He has a physical 5-foot-11, 191-pound frame with present strength throughout, and he showed a strong right-handed swing with feel for the barrel pull-side in his round.
