RHP Maxwell Virgil (Washington, 2028) showed an intriguing look on the mound this morning. Ran the fastball up to 82 mph with carry that generated multiple S/M. #PBTILOpen | @PrepBaseballIL

Carter Fisher ('28, IL) added 2 doubles on the day. Here is one of those swings. Has a long pause before getting his hands to it and lining it down the pull side. Great ABs from the '28 RHH. @PG_Illinois #WWBANorth

Good swing here from INF Jude Parnham (Morton, 2027) Laces this one through the left side for a single. 5-10 | 190 lbs #PBTILOpen | @PrepBaseballIL

@maxwellvirgil1 with a 💣 this morning. 2028 who’s playing a year up, kid can flat out swing it.

Max Virgil (2028, IL) delivered a huge swing for Outlaws Baseball 16U today, launching a grand slam. He features a compact, strong frame with plenty of raw power. Sets up in a narrow stance and does an excellent job getting on plane with this fastball, driving it over the fence to the pull side. proj traits. @PG_Illinois @PG_Scouting #MidwestWS
