Prep Baseball Report

South Suburban Summer ID: Pitcher Analysis


By: Illinois Scouting Staff

On Tuesday, June 11th, the Prep Baseball Illinois staff traveled to Ozinga Field in Crestwood, Illinois to host the South Suburban Summer ID. The event hosted 30 players from across the state and allowed our staff to get a closer look at these players to kick off the summer circuit.

RHP Wade Ozment (Crystal Lake Central, 2027) and RHP Daniel Bachler (Mount Carmel, 2027) are a pair of intriguing incoming sophomore arms from this event. Ozment featured a fastball up to 84 mph out of a lower ¾ slot, and Bachler was up to 81 mph with an athletic delivery down the mound.

Uncommitted 2025s, RHP Jonny Lee (Romeoville) and Jack Tamer (Lincoln-Way East) are a pair of names-to-know from the event. Lee is a clean mover on the mound that showed three quality pitches, and Tamer’s fastball velocity (86 mph) led the event.

Today we take a look at all of the pitcher reports from June’s event:
