On Saturday, February 24th, our staff hosted the Preseason All-State: Underclass event at The MAX in McCook, IL. This event was host to just over 130 of the top 2026 and 2027 grads from around the state, and gave our staff one final look at these prospects before the spring season began. 

We started our event rollout yesterday with a look at all of the catchers from the event. Today, we continue with a look at each and every outfielder from the day.

OF Frank Costabile (Stevenson) is one of the top outfielders to just miss the cut below. Costabile has firmly put himself on the map as one of the toolsiest, two-way prospects in the state. Costabile set the tone, topping at 98 mph from the outfield to start the day and took a noteworthy round of BP while also running a 6.80 60. He has been a main contributor on both sides of the ball this spring for Stevenson. 

OF Ian Campbell (Joliet Catholic) is another two-way prospect of note, who deserves a highlight with his showing as an outfielder. Campbell has a strong, athletic frame, arm strength from the outfield (90 mph) and was on the barrel with authority during BP: 103 max exit velocity, averaged 95.3 mph and launched his furthest batted ball 354’. Campbell also ran a 7.10 60 and had advanced Blast metrics. 

Read on below for a look at all of the outfielders from the day.
