INF Antonio Russotiesi (Downers Grove North, 2027) saw notable time on varsity this past spring and looks like a consistent left-handed hitter to keep tabs on. He competes in the box with feel to manipulate the barrel and square up the baseball, showing quality bat-to-ball and zone awareness to pair. Strong hands with a compact swing, present strength in the swing.

Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 185-pounds, broad shoulders with some present strength in the lower-half. Started at third base and hit out of the five-hole as only a sophomore. Didn’t have anything to show for it but he’s an intriguing prospect to follow with a compact left-handed swing, looks the part at the plate. Soft hands on the infield with smooth actions, comfortable going to either side of his glove, clean/fluid transfers, some feel to play on the move. Arm can play from different angles with accuracy. Intriguing sophomore to follow throughout the coming years.
