Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 32 in the state. Projectable 6-foot-5, 197-pound frame. Started at first and hit out of the five-hole. Rooney impressed Friday afternoon as he went 2-for-3 at the plate. The left-handed hitter operates from an open stance with a small leg lift. Strong hands from a pure swing that has a whole field approach. Connected on a line drive to left field for a single in his second at-bat. Worked a walk after going down 0-2 in the count during his third plate appearance. In his final appearance, Rooney would connect on the biggest hit of the game as he drove a ball deep into right field for a two-run triple to drive in the winning runs for Benet. Launched a solo home over the right field wall on Saturday during the 3A State Final.

Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 33 in the state. Lean, high-waisted 6-foot-5, 196-pound frame. Batted second and played first base in both games for Benet. Strong left-handed hitter who was on the barrel in both games. He has a simple, flat swing that looks to keep the ball on a line, while using the whole field. He got to play the hero in game one, when he hit a walk-off sacrifice fly to go with a hard single he hit earlier in the game. He finished game two with two more hits. Rooney is also well-known for his left-handed abilities on the mound, and is a young two-way player to continue to follow in Illinois.

LHP Quinn Rooney (Benet Academy, 2027) is an intriguing arm-to-follow from the event, standing in a 6-foot-5, 197-pound frame. His fastball sat in the low-80s throughout his ‘pen, but he showed the ability to work up to 87 mph towards the end. Rooney also mixed in a curveball that showed depth at times (avg. -9.5” IVB), and a low-70s changeup with some downer action.
