9/04/24
Jonah Weathers, INF/OF, Marian Catholic (IL), 2024 Weathers came away a winner from the event, a hyper athletic corner infield and outfielder with tools across the board. Standing at 6-foot-3, 195-pounds with a lot of room for added physical development left in his frame. Weathers is a 6.66 runner with speed that plays in game, and has arm strength at both spots, 92 mph across the diamond and 96 from the outfield. At the plate, the right-handed hitter takes a direct and quick path to the baseball with extension past contact showing the ability to cover the entire plate. Weathers showed overall feel for the barrel driving the baseball across the yard in the air. A high ceiling freshman with plenty of room for continued development, Weathers is a name-to-know for the Volunteers.
11/11/23

Verbally committed to John A. Logan.

9/23/23

UTIL Jonah Weathers (Marian, 2024) is one of the top uncommitted prospects still on the market in Illinois. Currently ranked No. 51 in the state, the former Future Gamer was all over the barrel Saturday, collecting two doubles in our brief look. His swing looks to be a bit more fluid than in years past, loading with more rhythm to help stay on time before firing through the zone with a quick barrel. Showed above-average base-running abilities, reading balls in the dirt and always looking to take the extra base.

8/08/23

Still uncommitted, 3B/OF Jonah Weathers (Marian Catholic, 2024) has noteworthy tools and athleticism attached to a strong, well-proportioned 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame. Weathers, who’s also a standout basketball player at Marian Catholic, showed above-average hand (23.8 mph) and bat speed (76.5 mph) on the workout day to go along with a 95.2 mph max exit velocity and 346 ft. peak distance. He did so from a flat and simple right-handed swing, staying through the baseball to the pull-side while maintaining balance throughout. It didn’t take long for Weathers to show his strength in game, as he rocketed a triple into the right-center gap in his second at-bat of the event. He also ran a 6.80 60 and was 87 mph across the infield with a 90 mph arm from the outfield.

UTIL Jonah Weathers (Marian Catholic, 2024) is still one of the top uncommitted prospects in the state of Illinois class of 2024. The 2022 Future Games participant took one of the best rounds of batting practice during the event.

Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 16 in the Illinois 2024 class. Highly projectable and high-waisted frame at 6-foot-2, 165-pounds. Started on the mound for Marian and ran his fastball up to 79 mph. His arm easily translated to the infield, where he showed the ability to backspin the ball over to first with ease, playing with carry and accuracy. Weathers cruised around second base after he was done pitching and impressed with uber-easy and athletic actions, showcasing soft hands with a quick/clean transfer, also playing with easy range to both sides of the glove. The right-handed hitter started in the two-hole for Marian and showcased an easy right-handed swing; long-levered with a flat path to the ball, minimal wasted movement with little perceived effort.
