On Tuesday, July 5, the PBR Illinois Staff hosted the Northwest Suburban Open at Judson University in Elgin, IL. The event featured 29 prospects and gave our scouting staff a quality look at players from all high school classes.

Today we continue the analysis of the event with a look at all of the position player scouting reports from the day. 

One of the top uncommitted 2023s at the event was OF Jonny Carrera (Bolingbrook). Carrera is a 6-foot, 180-pound right-handed hitter with a compact swing and quick hands through the zone. It is a loose/fluid swing that stays flat through the zone while looking to keep the ball on a line, also flashing some pop to his pull-side. In the outfield, Carrera moves athletically, plays through the baseball and topped at 84 mph. 

Two 2025s to know from the event were C Hayden Dieschbourg (Cary-Grove) and 1B Griffin Kelly (Buffalo Grove). Dieschbourg has steady hands and works into a quick/efficient exchange, producing a pop-time as low as 2.14 with a top velocity of 68 mph. At the plate, the right-hander has a short/flat path through the zone that creates extension through contact. He was repeatedly on the barrel throughout his round with quick/strong hands, creating backspin at times on balls to his pull-side. 

Kelly is listed at a strong 5-foot-11, 183-pounds and showed one of the strongest left-handed bats in attendance with his 90 mph exit velocity. He has loose/strong hands through the zone that stay flat through contact, staying on the barrel up the middle and to the opposite field throughout his round. He also moves well around the bag at first-base, showing fluid footwork and soft/reliable hands. On the mound, the southpaw ran his fastball up to 77 mph while also showing some feel for a tight 1/7 breaking ball and sinking changeup. 

Another young bat to follow was 2026 CIF Orlando Vazquez (St. Laurence). Standing 5-foot-8, 188-pounds, Vazquez showed off a repeatable, balanced right-handed stroke at the plate that stayed on plane and long through the zone. Vazquez stayed on the barrel with line-drives up the middle throughout his round.
