The number one player
@Quinnboyer15
in 14 games so far is hitting .525 with a .627 obps and 21 hits. He bas 4 extra base hits, two of them being homeruns. Quinn has a great chance to be the Lawless winner because of his ability to not strike out.

Senior first baseman
@jackson_stanek
is the number two player. He is hitting .481 with a 1.220 ops. Jackson has 26 hits, 6 of them being doubles and 2 home runs. He also has 19 rbis to him in 54 at bats so far into the season.

Ian Tosi (‘26 IL) Loose athletic operation thru release. Commanding both sides with the FB (83-85). Utilizing a low 70’s fade CH vs. RHHs as well as a breaker that shows good depth and a fair bit of sharpness.

No surprise at all. I have been saying it for months now, this Montini team is loaded. Once again Quinn has two hits so does Cassius. Public schools need to stop trying to compete with the CCL.
RHP Connor Elenteny (Mount Carmel, 2026) is another winner among the sophomores here today.
▪️FB: 88-89 mph; easy effort, carry/run traits

6’2”, 229 lbs.
Showed off his strong arm late in the game to back-pick a runner.
Was also on the barrel a couple times.
Ranked No. 6 in IL; No. 240 nationally
As the playoffs are underway now, I would like to wish all 21 Catholic schools remaining a good luck today or whenever your next matchup is. Still having over 20 Catholic schools left is an incredible achievement.
Wow… just wow congratulations

tough loss, it was a great season. The young team will be a threat for the next two season to come. I wish nothing but the best to all your players.
The 4th ranked player is
@jacksonsmith331
, he is hitting .550 in 40 at bats. Jackson’s ability to hit the ball to all parts of the field is impressive at this age. He is a true hitter who is fun to watch. Jackson also has 18 rbis to his name.

Great read, Daniel Coyle is one the best hitters in the 2026 class. I spoke with one the catholic school hitting coaches and he said his bat to ball skill is very advanced for his age.
I still am amazed, showcase teams will never be more productive than the old school teams that grind out a season and play as one. I will come back to this tweet and see CCL/ESCC win 3A and 4A.
However if I am not mistaken a Catholic School beat them in the playoffs and Catholic Schools were ranked higher all season long but

I may sometimes be biased, but I have most my contenders for 3A/4A being public schools. However, I believe Ian Tosi has handled many loaded lineups and I trust that he can do it again.
I agree with everything on the list. It was a very tough choice to decide on CCL blue player of the year because of all the players having great seasons so far. However,
@eggertcooper3
is hitting over .560, yes .560, crazy start for him.
