The Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association named its 2025 All-State Teams earlier this week. Players were nominated by their coaches and then selected by the IHSBCA board.

Class 1A state champion Marquette had two players selected to the Class 1A All-State Team – senior Sam Mitre and defending IHSBCA 1A Player of the Year Alec Novotney.

Also named to the All-State Team in 1A were Somonauk senior Noah Brandt, St. Bede senior Alan Spencer, Dwight junior Joey Starks and Roanoke-Benson junior Henry Koehler. Putnam County junior Jonathan Stunkel was awarded honorable mention.

In Class 2A, Bureau Valley junior Logan Philhower and Fieldcrest senior Jordan Heider were named IHSBCA All-State. Sandwich junior Braden Behringer received honorable mention.

In Class 3A, Plano junior Jason Phillips and Morris senior Jack Wheeler were selected IHSBCA All-State.

Players will be honored on July 29 in Chicago before the White Sox’s home game.
