The McHenry Future Prospects Showcase & Educational Camp for the 2024 and 2025 graduating classes took place on Sunday, January 26th at Pro Player Academy in McHenry, IL. Over 50 prospects participated in an educational portion as well as a pro-style workout in front of the PBR Illinois Scouting Staff. Today, we conclude the event analysis with scouting reports on every prospect in attendance. 

One of the stronger position groups on the day was the crop of catchers. A few names to mark down moving forward should be, C Josh Gutierrez (N/A, 2024), C Sir Jamison Jones (St. Rita, 2024), Kyle Hartmann (Sycamore, 2024) and Tommy Korn (Crystal Lake Central, 2024). Gutierrez has an athletic build, loose twitchy hands and maintains excellent balance through contact. Jones has a strong frame and loose, easy swing from the right-side of the plate generating a lot of hard contact. Hartmann swings with effort, creating advanced bat speed and staying flat through the zone. Korn has an athletic frame, quiet, easy, repeatable swing and consistently found the barrel in his round of BP. Behind the plate, Korn has sure hands, is quick and clean out of the crouch and has a strong, accurate arm that produced a low pop time of 2.19.

One of the more impressive prospects on the day, regardless of position, was RHP/INF Luke Oblen (DePaul College Prep, 2024). Oblen has a physical 5-foot-11, 165-pound frame and is a high-follow right-handed hitter. Oblen has a presence in the box, advanced bat speed, level path that stays through the zone and makes a lot of loud contact. Oblen then got on the mound and showed a loose, athletic arm, running his fastball up to 78 mph with a three-pitch mix. 

A natural infielder who has the tools to stick on the dirt moving forward was INF Triston Minor (N/A, 2024). Minor has soft hands, fluid footwork, plays through the baseball with a quick release and clean arm. Offensively, he hits with rhythm, loose hands and creates impressive bat speed given his size. 

INF Lance Moon (N/A, 2025) was one of the top 2025 position players on the day. Moon has a quiet, confident, easy swing from the right side of the boc and plays with bounce and aggressiveness on the infield.  

2025 INF/RHP AJ Putty (McHenry) may have the highest ceiling of any of the participants. Putty has an athletic, upside, 6-foot, 145-pound frame, simple swing with athletic, fast hands 

Three of the top arms in attendance were Logan Voelz (Antioch, 2024), RHP/OF Liam Arnold (Palatine, 2024), 1B/LHP Landen Patton (N/A, 2024) among a number of others. 

2024 Samuel Chapman (Woodstock, 2024) is a high-interest left-handed hitting outfielder who is also more than capable of holding his own on the mound. Chapman has a loose athletic swing and fluid outfield actions. He also worked in the low-70’s on the mound. 

There were a number of others who showed well, whose reports are below. Continue below for every report from the event.
