On Monday, June 29th, the PBR Illinois staff hosted the Future Prospects Showcase & Educational Camp at The Bo Dome in Lockport, IL. This event featured over 50 seventh and eighth graders looking to showcase their skills in a pro-style workout format.

This showcase has a dual function: to teach prospects about the showcase atmosphere and the recruiting process as well as to identify young talent coming through Illinois over the next handful of years.

OF Dennis Butler III (Simeon, 2024), who shined at the 2019 Junior Future Games, continued to show that he will be a 2024 to keep an eye on throughout his high school career and recently made a verbal commitment to Louisville. Butler plays the game hard, has game-changing speed (6.74 60) and profiles as a top-of-the-order left-handed bat moving forward.

Two physical bats to follow moving forward were C/INF Sir Jamison Jones (St. Rita, 2024) and 1B Joshua Janowski (Lincoln-Way East, 2024). Both earned invites to the August 2024 Top Prospect Games thanks to their performance at the event.

Another 2024 to keep tabs on moving forward should be INF/RHP David Cox (Nazareth). Cox has a high-waisted, projectable 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame with loose levers at the plate and ranges well on the infield.  

A high-follow middle infielder looks to be Kenny Perez (De La Salle). Perez has a simple, barrel-controlled right-handed swing and is a confident, smooth middle infield defender. 

There are plenty of other prospects to follow moving forward as the future of high school baseball in Illinois looks bright with the strong crop of young talent that was in attendance. Read on below for reports from every player in attendance.
