Just three Super 60 participants are uncommitted, including Bourbon, though he is just a junior and potentially has a future on the football field too. As a freshman in January 2012, Bourbon was a top prospect at Illinois’ Underclass Invitational with his athletic frame and whippy bat. At the same event a year later, Bourbon was rated as the top corner infielder and then listed among the top players at the Top Prospect Showcase last summer. He is one of the strongest hitters in the 2015 class, consistently making hard contact and generating lift in his swing to give him good power potential.
