Uncommitted, stands in an athletic 6-foot, 170-pound frame with seemingly more strength to come. Started at shortstop and batted leadoff. Finished the day with a hit and one run scored, but impressed defensively during in-and-out, athletic mover with range and a clean glove-to-hand transfer. Offensively, hands work direct to the ball with a slightly uphill path through the zone. Multi-sport athlete, plays football, basketball and baseball - All-Conference selection in basketball. Uncommitted name to follow in Illinois.
Uncommitted. Strong 6-foot, 170-pound athletic frame. Started at short and hit out of the lead-off position. Ahrens went 1-for-3 at the plate Monday night. The right-handed hitter operates from a wide, balanced stance with a toe-tap. Compact swing with a slight uphill bat path with bat speed through the zone. Gap-to-gap approach. Connected on a pitch up in the zone for a line-drive single into center field. Smooth defender at short that works around the ball and has a strong arm that fits the left-side of the infield.
Uncommitted, stands in an upside and athletic 6-foot, 170-pound frame. Started at shortstop and batted leadoff. Really impressed defensively with his actions, an athlete with range to both sides, steady hands and a clean and quick transfer with accurate throws across the diamond. A right-handed hitter at the plate, didn’t record a hit, but showed athletic movement patterns and an upside swing. An uncommitted name to know that was an All-Conference selection in basketball this past winter.
Jackson Ahrens (East Peoria, 2026) stands in an intriguing 5-foot-11, 163-pound frame with athleticism throughout.

He produced a 90.5 mph max exit velocity and averaged 87.2 mph, and also sent his farthest hit ball 327 feet. He showed steady actions defensively, with clean and fluid footwork to both sides. Ahrens is a name-to-follow in the state’s 2026 class.
