On Wednesday, April 13, the PBR Illinois team hosted the McCook Rising Stars ID at The Max in McCook, IL. The event featured over 70 prospects from around the area and gave our scouting staff an in-depth look at the next crop of talent that will be coming through the state.

You'll find scouting reports on each player that attended this event within, as well as a few nuggets on prospects that popped to our scouts. For all of that information, read below.

2026s

Two prospects who have a chance to be higher level infielders in the class are SS/RHP Ethan Bass (Glenbrook North) and SS/RHP Lucas Simulick (Joliet Catholic). Both are polished across the board with middle of the order potential with the bat and athletic, advanced infield actions with a chance to stick on the left side of the infield down the road. Both were also two of the top arms on the day.

Another high-level prospect in attendance was RHP/INF Callaghan O’Connor (Bishop McNamara). O’Connor has one of the highest floors and ceilings that we have seen in the class, already standing at 6-foot-4, 185-pounds with the ability to control his levers. On the mound it works clean and athletic with a fastball up to 86 mph and starter profile featuring two above-average secondary offerings. On top of that, O’Connor holds his own in the right-handed batters box and plays a steady infield. 

An intriguing left/left, two-way prospect to keep an eye on moving forward is OF/LHP Owen Rog (DePaul College Prep). Rog has a polished delivery on the mound with a fastball up to 79 mph and showed a short, direct swing at the plate with upside. 

Two other prospects set to attend the PBR Junior Future Games for Team Illinois that showed well at the event were CIF TJ McQuillan (Mount Carmel) and C/RHP Dylan Kassab (Hinsdale Central). McQuillan is one of the top left-handed bats we have seen to date with all kinds of present bat strength and pull-side power. Kassab has a well-rounded game and has been driving balls with authority all summer long. 

2027s

When looking at the strong crop of 2027s from the event, a few names stick out. SS Blake Ragsdale (Lyons Township) is athletic for his age with a balanced, repeatable swing, knack for the barrel and was one of the top infield defenders on the day. 

Arguably the most dynamic bat in attendance was INF Elijah Lewis (Downers Grove North). Lewis swings with controlled intent, loose strong hands and his bat stays through the zone a long time allowing him to drive hard contact to both gaps. 

Another prospect who stood out with the bat was C Derrick Pomatto (N/A). Pomatto has a compact 5-foot-7, 165-pound frame and present bat speed, flat path and easy jump off the barrel. 

Left-handed hitting catcher Keegan Seipp (O’Fallon) also turned some heads with an impressive round of BP to go along with a physical, well-proportioned, 5-foot-11, 160-pound frame. He should be a name to follow in the 2027 class.

There was all kinds of talent at the event, not mentioned above. Read on below for a look at each and every prospect from the day.
