NORMAL — University High School senior MacCallan Conklin was among eight players who have signed national letters of intent to play baseball for Illinois State.
Conklin is a 6-foot-1 righthanded pitcher who already is used to playing at Duffy Bass Field with the Pioneers.
"MacCallan is a local product that might have the highest ceiling of anyone in the class," said ISU third-year head coach Steve Holm. "He is extremely strong and athletic and has played quite a bit of center field in the last few years. On the mound he has been up to 92 mph, and we feel he has so much more in the tank.
