EVENT HISTORY
We've been hosting this event for the past 13 years, and it's consistently given us a look at prominent players. Among the players in attendance at this event in 2025, there were 7 commitments following the event.
We're looking forward to checking in on the next crop of talent from this event to earn next-level attention in the coming weeks, months, and years.

Grady Mueller OF / RHP / Glenwood, IL / 2026From 5/07/25: "Uncommitted. Athletic 5-foot-11, 178-pound frame. Started in right field and hit out of the eight-hole. Mueller was an important part of Glenwood’s win on Wednesday as he went 3-for-3 with two extra-base hits. The right-handed hitter operates from a wide, bent stance with no stride. Strong hands with a compact swing. Whole fields approach with pull-side power that he showed off with a solo home run. Patient approach at the plate as he is not afraid of working a walk. Showed a strong arm during pregame." |

Perusing the event roster, we’re set to meet a few players who’ve not yet attended a Prep Baseball showcase, and we’re eager to add more names to our follow lists.
