Ethan Bass, a senior standout at Glenbrook North High School in Illinois, has been making headlines after a dominant performance that culminated in his selection as Player of the Week.
Record‑Breaking Week
During the past seven days, Bass smashed eleven home runs, matching the school’s single‑season record and propelling his team to a flawless 5‑0 record.
The impressive display not only underscored his power hitting but also reinforced his status as the second‑best prospect in the state and the thirty‑first overall in the national 2026 class rankings.
Bass has already committed to playing at Wake Forest, a decision that adds a layer of intrigue to his draft trajectory as Major League scouts eye the 2026 MLB draft slated for July.
Draft Implications
With his combination of power, poise and a proven track record, analysts predict that Bass could become a mid‑round pick, potentially reshaping the offensive outlook of several teams looking for a left‑handed bat with high upside.
