3B Trevan Sidwell (South Central, 2026) and SS Ian Jones (North Clay, 2026) are two names that impressed this weekend. Sidwell stands in a stronger build at 5-foot-10, 170-pounds. He started at third base and batted third. He has a fluid right-handed load with a smooth and controlled swing that stays on balance through contact. He delivered a single in this look, including an RBI sac fly to right field. Jones stands in an athletic and projectable frame at 6-foot, 150-pounds. He impressed up the middle with his athletic and fluid actions. He’s a right-handed hitter that has a small weight-shift load back and a flatter bat path. Jones didn’t get many opportunities to hit on Sunday, drawing multiple walks in this look. Both players are names-to-know in Southern Illinois.
