OF Jake Morrill (Normal West, 2023) was arguably the day’s most impressive prospect from a position player standpoint, showing well in all aspects of his workout. Built at a strong 6-foot, 175-pounds, Morrill took a loud, polished round of BP from the left side, repeating hard, backspun contact off his barrel. He recorded the day’s hardest hit ball (97 mph) and also posted the second-highest average exit velocity (87.6 mph) of the event. Defensively, Morrill showed clean, athletic actions from the outfield and played through the baseball in rhythm. He’s an uncommitted name-to-know from the Central Illinois area.
