On Sunday, February 9th, the Prep Baseball Illinois staff hosted the O'Hare Preseason ID at Bo Jackson's Elite Sports in Bensenville, IL. This event is perennially one of our largest and most talented events on our winter calendar, and this year was no different with 160 players in attendance.
Today, we are continuing our post-event rollout with a look at every single infielder from the day, with a breakdown of the top standouts, too.
Some underclassmen that really stood out on the day and deserve a mention are Michael Foley (Prospect, 2027), Aaden Colon (Jacobs, 2027), Zane Schneider (Lemont, 2027), Jackie Ryder (New Trier, 2027) and Gaetano Lazzara (Lake Park, 2028).
