PBR ILLINOIS POWER 25

The Illinois high school baseball season kicked off on March 14, opening day for regular season action under IHSA regulations. Leading up to opening day, we published our team previews ahead of the 2022 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, counting down through the official PBR Illinois Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

Since Opening Day, our scouts have been out and about covering the 2022 season and have been publishing scout notes and additional in-season content along the way, like Power 25 updates, Player of the Week awards, and weekly top performers included inside Diamond Notes.

Follow along throughout the spring season by following us on Twitter @PBRIllinois.
