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 outfielder from the day, with a breakdown of the top standouts, too. 

Some unsigned juniors to know that stood out and deserve a mention are Jacob Ganir (Leyden), Drew Hyland (Nazareth), Ethan Thomas (Edwardsville) and Joseph Camer (St. Rita). 

Some underclassmen that deserve a mention after strong showings are Quinn Champion (Nazareth, 2028), Carmen Fallara (Nazareth, 2028), Henry Burke (Lake Forest, 2028), Julian Collazo (Oak Park-River Forest, 2027), Eric Kuhlman (Lyons Township, 2027), Alexander Barsky (Amundsen, 2027) and Greyson Alesia (Hinsdale Central, 2027).
