It was a big week for the 2019 class in Illinois with three prospects making verbal commitments, including the No. 1 prospect in C Matt McCormick (St. Laurence HS, IL). A left-handed hitter with an advanced approach, McCormick chose West Virginia. RHP Nathan Rintz (Schaumburg HS, IL) committed to Arkansas and C Dylan Post (Lincoln-Way Central HS, IL) committed to Houston. Rintz has a lanky, projectable frame and pitches in the mid 80s while Post shows power potential from the left side of the plate.
