On Saturday, Feb. 12, the PBR Illinois team hosted the McHenry Rising Stars ID at Pro Player Academy in McHenry, Ill. This event served as an open identifier into the state's 2026 and 2027 graduates, providing our staff an early look at the area's top players as they continue to progress as prospects.

These early Rising Stars events also serve as key identifiers for future invite-only events, including the Prep Baseball Report Junior Future Games. Now, at the event's conclusion, our staff will begin to breakdown some of the top statistical leaders from the event.
