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 conclude our positional analysis of the event with a look at all of the arms from the day. There were plenty of quality arms to note from the event and we ranked the Top-10 below.

A few arms that stood out but just missed the cut on the top-10 below were 2026s; RHP Connor Griffin (Maine South) and LHP Dylan Ignacek (Barrington), as well as 2027s; RHP Jackie Ryder (New Trier), RHP Sam Sehlhorst (Glenbrook South) and LHP Aidan Colon (Jacobs).
