Future Prospects Showcase & Educational Camp - McCook: Player Analysis
May 28, 2019
The second Future Prospects Showcase and Educational camp took place on March 3 at The MAX in McCook, IL. The event was for players in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 graduating classes.
The showcase has a dual function: to teach prospects about the showcase atmosphere and the recruiting process as well as to identify young talent who will be in the mix for invitations later in the year to join us for the annual Junior Future Games event in August.
Shortly following the event, we took a look at the statistical analysis from the day and highlighted some players that stood out.
Two-way prospect Cam Collier is a player to keep an eye out for in the 2023 class. The left-handed hitting shortstop posted the highest exit velocity, infield velocity, and fastball velocity on the mound. Collier has an advanced offensive approach, can stay on the left-side of the infield moving forward and has plenty of arm strength to offer intrigue on the mound.
Zion Rose is another player that stuck out at the event. He’s a strong, athletic utility man that worked out behind the plate and on the infield. His present athleticism and physicality make him a follow 2023 prospect moving forward.
The top hitter in attendance was arguably Amir Gray. Gray, who profiles as a corner infielder, has an extra-large, physical frame, has a repeatable swing and creates easy bat speed.
A trio of 2023 backstops are names to remember: Andy Roman (Aurora Christian), Mark Wagner (Neuqua Valley), and Bryce Nevils (Brother Rice). All three of them impressed in several different areas both offensively and defensively. Their actions, athleticism, and arm strength should allow them to stay behind the plate as they mature.
There were plenty of other standouts from the day and their full reports can be found below.
