The top senior prospects from Illinois, Indiana and Missouri will take center stage this Sunday, February 6, for the 9^th Annual Super 60 Pro Showcase at the Max-McCook Athletic & Exposition Center?s state-of-the-art 125,000 square-foot open turf facility in McCook, IL.

Since the event?s inception in 2003, the Super 60 has become one of the most heavily scouted preseason events for potential draft picks. Last year, 45 professional scouts of all levels were in attendance. Over the last eight years, more than 90 players have been selected in the Major League Baseball Draft.

This year?s event has the potential to be the best Super 60 yet, which would be a considerable feat given how impressive last year?s event was.  Exactly how impressive? Nineteen of the 25 pitchers dialed it up 86 mph or better, 10 of which were 88-plus. Fifteen players were 85-plus from their defensive positions, while four of the eight catchers had a top pop time of 1.9 or better. The event also featured impressive speed: 11 players ran sub-7 60s, five of which ran sub-6.8s. Offensively, many players put on eye-opening hitting performances. 

Two of the top senior prospects in Missouri will be in attendance: SS Johnny Eierman from Warsaw HS (signed at LSU, and pictured right) and OF Lance Jeffries from McCluer HS (signed at Iowa Western CC), along with the No. 1 junior and sophomore in the statei, INF Spencer Johnson from Parkview HS and 3B Matt Brown from Vianney HS.
