OF Angel Mohammad (Taft, 2024) appeared to be on a mission at the Illinois State Games as he showed well in the workout and in-game. The 6-foot, 165-pounder began the event by running a 6.60 60 time, one of the event’s top times. From the outfield, he recorded a max velocity of 85 mph on his best bullet to home, and during his round of BP he hit his hardest ball 91.6 mph. Mohammad transitioned into gameplay well, where he tallied multiple extra base hits, including a triple and a near home run. A simple approach with a smooth and easy swing, he had a knack for putting the barrel on the baseball throughout the two-day event in Rantoul. Mohammad is an uncommitted name-to-know in Illinois’ 2024 class.
