McHenry Preseason ID: Infield Analysis


Illinois Scouting Staff

On Saturday, February 10th, our staff hosted the McHenry Preaseason ID at the Pro Player Academy in McHenry, IL. This event hosted just over 130 players, and allowed our staff to get an in-depth look at a number of prospects in the area prior to the spring season. 

Below you'll find scouting reports on every single infielder that was in attendance, as well as a Top-10 listing of who our staff deemed as the top infield prospects from the group. 

Landon Clements (McHenry) and Ryan Tucker (Jacobs) are two 2027 infielders to know from the event who just missed the top-10 below. Both had solid overall days and are freshman to follow moving forward.

Karson Stiefer (Prairie Ridge) and Baris Brua (Mundelein) are two left/left first basemans to know from the event. Stiefer ran a 3.86 home-to-first with a twitchy swing that launched his furthest batted ball 348’. Brua has a strong frame, intentful swing and topped at 96 mph during BP.

Read on below for a look at the top-10 and all infielders from the event.
