2024 Future Games: Brody Landgraf (Columbia) proved to be a threat with the bat during his week at the Future Games. The big, 6-foot-4, 231-pound first baseman has all kinds of strength in his frame. His eye-opening performance came in the nightcap of Team Illinois’ final game on Saturday night, where he earned the Dicks Sporting Goods Player of the Game honors after going 4-for-4 with two RBI and two stolen bases. He took quality at-bats throughout the game, working counts, fouling off pitches, and creating tough outs for pitchers. Landgraf has power in his left-handed bat, showing the ability to barrel balls to the pull-side, and during Wednesday’s showcase, he posted a max exit velocity of 97.8 mph. He remains an uncommitted follow after the event.
Ranked No. 10 in Illinois’ incoming sophomore class. Stands at an impressive 6-foot-5, 200-pounds, still more strength coming. Was the DH and batted fourth. A left-handed hitter, Landgraf has above-average bat speed and power for his age, quick and direct with an uphill path, drives the ball to all fields, tough out. Put Columbia on the board in the first inning of the semifinal game against DePaul College Prep with an RBI triple to the right/center gap. In the fifth inning, he blasted an RBI double to center field for another RBI. He finished the game 2-for-2 with a triple, double, two RBIs, one run scored and a walk. Landgraf is one of the top bats in the state’s class of 2026.
Physical 6-foot-5, 200-pound athlete with a body capable of further filling out as he gets older. Left-handed bat that started at first base and hit in the six-hole for the Eagles. Generates easy bat and hand speed from the left side, staying flat and in the zone throughout. Found the barrel with authority twice in this look - a deep line out to the opposite field and a no-doubt line drive home run over the right field fence in a key situation. Runs well for his size, moves around the bag comfortably in I/O. Also played varsity basketball this winter as a freshman. A name-to-know prospect in the Illinois’ 2026 class.
The freshman went 8-for-17 (.471 BA/1.289 OPS) with a home run, triple, nine RBIs, and eight runs scored.
Season Stats: (.476 BA/.500 OBP/.711 SLG), HR, 2 3B, 4 2B, 18 RBI, 15 R
6-foot-4, 195-pound highly projectable frame with present strength and room to add more. Started at first base for Columbia in this look. Also saw playing time for the Eagles varsity basketball team as a freshman, shooting 63.9% from the field and grabbing 141 rebounds over 33 games played. Tall at the plate with some knee bend, hands start at midline and work back at load, quick hitch with a toe-tap trigger. Long flat left-handed swing, hard off the barrel. Flicked a deep flyout to center field off balance in his second at-bat, drove a double into the opposite field gap in his following appearance. Projects to impact the baseball more consistently as he matures. Comfortably moved around first base in pregame with footwork feel and sure-handed actions. A name-to-know in the Illinois’ 2026 class.
