On Saturday, March 1st, we hosted our Preseason All-State: Upperclass event, perennially our most exclusive and talented event on our winter calendar for rising juniors. This past year we saw nearly 150 of the top players from around the state, giving us one final look before the spring season kicked off.

Right-handed hitters Josh Colaizzi (Bartlett), Clancy Rogers (Glenbrook South), and a host of others that just missed the cut, should be followed closely moving forward. Colaizzi has well-above average tools across the board and Rogers took a loud round of BP;106 mph max exit velocity (98.1 avg.).

A left-handed hitter who just missed the cut but offers plenty to dream on moving forward is Owen Rog (DePaul College Prep). Rog is a left/left fluid mover with upside to all parts of his game.
