Lockport Preseason I.D.: Outfield Analysis


PBR Illinois Staff

On Monday, February 15 our staff hosted the Lockport Preseason I.D. at The Bo Jackson Elite Sports Dome in Lockport, IL. The event hosted over 150 prospects from around the state to showcase their skill set in front of our scouting staff and with that type of roster there’s no doubt we’ll be uncovering some new names across the state as well as tracking the progress of prospects already on our follow lists. 

If you’ve missed some of our instant analysis in the week following the event check out some of the links below.

This week we will kick off our event analysis, breaking down the event position by position and ranking some of the top prospects in attendance. We start out the week with outfielders, and the top outfielder in attendance happens to hail from our northern neighbor, Wisconsin. OF Ryan Drumm (Edgewood, WI, 2023) is presently a top-15 prospect in Wisconsin’s 2023 class and looks like he could be trending up that board. Arguably the most consistent outfield bat of the day, he impressed with his ability to repeat hard back-spun contact to both gaps on top of overall athleticism that should play well in the outfield. 

2023 Kamrin Cox (Homewood Flossmoor) was the top ranked Illinois prospect due to his plus foot speed at an event best 6.61 in the 60 combined with advanced bat speed at the dish. Also notable, coming in at No. 3 was Lockport’s Jake Collins (2022). Collins is a physical outfielder who unleashed some premium Trackman numbers in BP as well as showing similar foot speed to the aforementioned Cox.
