1/26/24

One of the best runners in the entire state, OF Jalen House (Downers Grove South; Northern Illinois) will look to impress in front of pro scouts this coming week. Listed at 6-foot, 175-pounds, House has an athletic, lean build with a high waist and more room to add on strength. As previously mentioned, House is a high-level runner at 6.37 in the 60, and his speed can impact the game in numerous ways, whether it be tracking down fly balls in the outfield or causing headaches for opposing teams on the basepaths. He’s a left-handed hitter, which makes his speed play up even more, and he tries to keep the ball on a line to help keep his legs in play when he makes contact.

8/21/23

Verbally committed to Northern Illinois.

8/08/23

A premier athlete in the Illinois’ 2024 class: OF Jalen House (Downers Grove South). House shattered the Illinois State Games 60-yard dash record, cruising to a double-plus 6.37 time on our lasers with a 1.58 10-yard split while reaching 22 mph at peak speed. House brings a quiet look into the left side of the plate, and he showed more juice than we’d seen from him in the past, squaring his hardest ball up at 96.3 mph in BP.

OF Jalen House (Downers Grove South, 2024) is a left/left 5-foot-11, 175-pound prospect that just committed to Northern Illinois and showed his high-level of athleticism running the top 60-time (6.37; event record) at the recent Illinois State Games. House ran a clean 6.80 at this event and showed a loose and easy swing and stayed on the barrel for much of the round; recorded a max exit velocity of 93.8 mph and a max distance of 309 feet.

One of the top players in attendance on Sunday was OF Jalen House (Downers Grove South). Standing 5-foot-11, 170-pounds, House has a lean/athletic build with plenty of room for additional strength. He’s a well above-average athlete, leading the event with a 6.78 60-time (recording as low as 6.60 in the past).

4/28/22

Uncommitted. Hit out of the lead-off spot for the Mustangs as only a sophomore.
