Midwest Future Games Spotlight: Michael Kornacker
July 31, 2012
Michael Kornacker, RHP/2B, St. Laurence HS
Kornacker is an athletically built 6-foot-4, 180-pound athlete who has the potential to be a legitimate two-way player at the next level. Just as he does at St. Laurence HS, Kornacker will showcase his middle infield and pitching abilities for Team Illinois at the Midwest Future Games this weekend at the University of Illinois.
Kornacker, who is currently ranked No. 5 in Illinois' Class of 2014, has been a big-time run producer for St. Laurence since his freshman year. Playing against the best competition in the state, Kornacker batted .383 as a freshman and earned second-team Chicago Catholic Blue Conference honors while playing a solid second base.
On the mound, Kornacker is extremely projectable. In two varsity seasons, the right-hander has posted an 8-2 record for the Vikings.
The Midwest Future Games, powered by Under Armour, will feature the best Class of 2014 prospects from six states.
