Future Prospects Showcase - Lockport: Statistical Analysis
April 15, 2021
The second Future Prospects Showcase & Educational Camp for the 2025 and 2026 graduating classes took place on Tuesday, April 15th at Bo Jackson Elite Sports Dome in Lockport, IL. 60 prospects participated in a pro-style workout in front of the PBR Illinois Scouting Staff. Today, we start the event analysis with a breakdown of the statistical leaders and a look at a few noteworthy prospects.
Tyler Rwakatare (Lane Tech, 2025), a 5-foot-8, 135-pound multi-positional prospect, was one of the more athletic 2025s in attendance and was towards the top of a number of statistical categories. The right-handed hitter, ran a 7.18 laser-timed 60 and recorded the top exit velocity of the event at 89 mph. He was able to carry that bat strength over to BP where he paired it with advanced bat speed, swinging with controlled intent and making some of the hardest contact of the day, consistently driving baseballs to both gaps with authority. Defensively, he has the ability to play all over the field at this point and topped at 76 mph from the outfield.
Chance Payne (Mt. Pulaski, 2025) was another bat to take note of. The left/left first baseman has an extremely repeatable, simple swing, staying through the zone a long time and repeating hard contact to both gaps with fluid rhythm throughout. Defensively, Payne has easy actions at first base and advanced feel around the bag.
Aidan Nohava (Brother Rice, 2025) looks like he has a chance to be a high-level follow in the state down the road. Nohava, a 5-foot-11, 166-pound, athletically-built, two-way prospect (RHP/INF) took one of the louder rounds of BP on the day. Nohava, a right-handed hitter, takes an aggressive swing with present bat speed, creates leverage and lift in his swing and routinely made loud, powerful contact to the pull-side of the diamond. Defensively he is a steady infield defender with a big arm, that plays loose and clean. The arm action played well on the mound where he ran his fastball up to 78 mph.
Another advanced 2025 coming up in Illinois looks to be SS/RHP Dominic Panozzo (Bradley-Bourbonnais). Panozzo has a highly-advanced 6-foot-1, 178-pound frame and showed off a big arm topping out at 86 mph in the outfield, 10 mph firmer than the next best, and was also 76 mph across the infield. At the plate, the ball jumps off his right-handed bat, which works long and uphill through the zone. Panozzo also was also up to 78 mph on the mound and ran a 7.20 60.
Former Junior Future Gamer, SS/RHP Jack Wheeler (Morris, 2025), sported arguably the most impressive frame in attendance, coming in at a long-limbed, high-waisted, 6-foot-3, 160-pounds. Wheeler showed loose hands and occasional juice to the right-center field gap and bounced around the infield with fluid footwork and soft hands. Wheeler topped at 79 mph on the mound, tied for best of the event, was 77 mph across the diamond and registered an 82 mph exit velocity. One of the higher-ceiling prospects in attendance.
Two of the top infield defenders on the day were Brett Bounds (Morris, 2025) and 2026 Logan Wroughton (Lake Central, IN). Bounds has loose, athletic actions and plays with a lot of confidence on the infield. Ability to play on the move with body control, throw from multiple angles and his arm played accurate with carry at 74 mph across the diamond. Wroughton is a bouncy defender with highly-advanced actions and hands. Wroughton is natural moving to both sides and turned the double play with fluidity while showing the ability to change arm angles with ease.
2026 Max Heineman (N/A) will be one to watch over the next handful of years. Heineman showed some of the better catcher actions on the day with flexible hips, soft/receptive hands and was clean and directional out of the crouch. At the plate, the right-handed hitter, sits in a wide crouch, stays simple and repeatable throughout with minimal wasted movement and possesses well above-average bat strength for his age. Heineman has fluid, loose hands and worked gap-to-gap in his round of BP.There were a number of others who showed well and will be mentioned in a few weeks when we release the scouting reports from the event.
