On Sunday, February 8th, our staff hosted the O'Hare Preseason ID at Bo Jackson's Elite Sports in Bensenville, IL. This packed event is annually one of our largest and most talented, with this year proving no different. There were nearly 150 players in attendance, with a number of them impressing our staff with the gains they have made over the off-season.

Today, we are continuing our post-event rollout with a look at every single infielder from the day, along with a Top-10 ranking of who our staff thought showed the best on the day, below. 

Eli Sigal (Stevenson, 2028), Colin Schacke (Maine South, 2029), Michael Wente (York, 2029), Rohan Khemani (Lycee Francais, 2029), RJ Krefting (St. Patrick’s, 2029), Colin Schacke (Maine South, 2029), Austin Beckman (Notre Dame College Prep, 2029) and Max Verrecchia (Lyons Township, 2029) are a strong crop of underclassmen to follow in the coming years. 

Jack McDaniel (Hinsdale South, 2027), Michael Foley (Prospect, 2027), Jacob Wolfinger (Niles North, 2027), Anthony Eorio (Nazareth, 2027) and Leobel Chan (Elmwood Park, 2027) are a handful of uncommitted juniors deserving of a mention from the day.
