The Fox River Open was held on Monday, June 11, at The MAX in McCook. Nearly 50 prospects from all high school classes participated in a pro-style workout in front of the Illinois scouting staff. We began the rollout of the event with a look at the catchers in attendance followed by infielders, outfielders and pitchers. 

Today we conclude the analysis of the event with a look at the top five prospects in attendance.
