I started Illinois Baseball Report at the beginning of this year essentially because I thought the team really deserved it. I put a lot of time into it during the the the season and it’s been a lot of fun.
Even though the University of Illinois baseball season is over, the pace might be less hectic but I do have some exciting plans for the summer.
I’ll be covering the Illinois players’ ventures in their respective summer leagues. Also, I’ll touch on some of the former Illini who are now playing in the minor leagues (Shawn Roof has already graciously promised me an interview).
Of course, there’s the MLB First-Year Player Draft which is almost upon us. I’m sure they’ll be news to report from an Illinois perspective.
Before you know it, it will be time for the fall open practice and the Orange and Blue Series.
In the meantime, I’ll be working on improving the website, hopefully making it better looking, easier and all that. If you have any feedback on the website, I’d love to hear it. Just leave leave a comment or send an email.
