The PBR Future Prospects & Educational Camp showcase took place on March 31 at the Bo Jackson Elite Sports Dome in Lockport, IL. This event saw 60 players from the 2023 and 2024 graduating classes participated in both an educational portion and a pro-style workout in front of the Illinois/Wisconsin Scouting Staff.

Shortly following the event, we dove into the statistical analysis from the day and highlighted a few of the standout players.

C/RHP Matthew Santana (Marian Catholic) will be a 2023 to watch in the coming years. Santana, who registered the highest exit velocity from the event, has advanced bat strength and bat speed from the right side. Defensively, he is polished behind the plate with a big arm that also plays on the mound (up to 79 mph).

LHP/1B Luke Brown (Plainfield North) is another two-way prospect that should be watched closely in the coming years. The 6-foot, durably-built, left/left, prospect has a clean arm and ran his fastball up to 79 mph on the mound. At the plate, Brown has a level swing with bat strength.

Tommy Atkinson (St. Rita), Ryan Jefferson (Providence Catholic) Tony Konopiots (Downers Grove North) were three infield prospects from the 2023 class that stood out. Atkinson ran a sub-7.00 60, the fastest sixty time at the event and creates advanced bat speed at the plate. Jefferson is an athletic, left-handed hitting infielder with athletic defensive actions. Konopiots has a strong frame, offensive upside and the ability to stick on the infield moving forward.  

There were plenty of other standouts from the day and their full reports can be found below.
