On Aug. 6, the PBR Illinois staff hosted its annual Senior Games showcase at Triton College in River Grove, Ill., where over 55 of the top uncommitted players in Illinois’ 2020 class gathered to participate in a workout and live game action. Immediately following this event, we broke down the day’s bright spots in our Quick Hits post and our Statistical Analysis.

We began our position-by-position analysis earlier this week with the day’s catchers, but today is reserved for the outfielders. We highlighted the day’s three best outfielder below, starting with Deerfield’s Adam Pottinger.
