We are joined today by Diego Solares to talk Illinois baseball and the upcoming Scout Connect Showcase happening this weekend at The Sports Barn in Wood River, IL.

Youth Baseball Midwest will be on-site with our cameras as some of the best players in the state take the field — all working to continue developing their skills and grow as athletes.

Evaluating players is one of the most difficult jobs in the game. At the end of the day, every coach is looking for one player to fill a specific need on their roster. Each program has different philosophies, conference matchups, and personalities that shape what they are looking for.

Projecting players is not a job for the timid. Everyone has an opinion — so let’s hear what Diego has to say about Illinois talent and what to expect this weekend.

We’ll see you at the ballpark.
