Max Backaus ('27, IL) with a double here. Athletic frame. Shows great feel for the barrel to be on plane with this FB. Stays back and rives it into the opposite field, advancing a runner to third. @PG_Illinois@PG_Uncommitted#MidwestWS
Rowan Parker ('27, IL) working 75-78 mph on the FB. He was able to effectively locate this pitch on the corners of the plate, catching a lot of batters looking. In his 2 innings of work he gave up no hits and punched out 6. Repeatable and loose delivery. He also flashed a SL working 67-68 mph with noticeable break. @PG_Illinois@PG_Uncommitted#MidwestWS
Ryan Obrochta ('27, IL) with a double to the opposite field here, driving in a run. Athletic build w/ long levers. He shows a disciplined approach in the box here, shortening the hands on a 1-2 count and putting the ball in play making things happen. Great AB from the RHH. @PG_Illinois@PG_Uncommitted#MidwestWS
Jaxson Christensen ('27, IL) with a quality swing here as he takes the hands to it and drives it well. Athletic frame w/ long levers. Starts in a narrow stance before turning the hips nicely, driving this ball into CF and driving in 2. Proj traits. @PG_Illinois@PG_Uncommitted#MidwestWS
Colin Boskey ('27, IL) had a solid day at the plate, going 1-for-2 with a double that drove in two runs. He presents the barrel well with a smooth, level swing, staying through the zone to drive the ball to the opposite field. A quality approach that produced a key extra-base hit. @PG_Illinois@PG_Uncommitted#MidwestWS
