18. Dillon Head, OF, Homewood-Flossmoor Community HS (IL) – The Midwest prep class is shaping up to be impressive, and Head is just another of those big names from the area. A smaller in stature player, he can get overlooked on the way to the field, but there is no overlooking him on it. He has elite speed that plays both in the field and on the bases, and has an average to better arm but it is accurate making it play even better. 

He has a shot to be a plus center fielder, and we haven’t even gotten into the bat yet. A left handed batter, with a slightly open stance, he has a really strong top hand that allows him to drive the ball better than you would think given the slappy look and smaller frame. That said, he does pull off the ball too much at times and can get beat on the outer half. Head is a top of the lineup, up the middle defensive talent oozing with athleticism with plenty of potential.

Outfield: Dillon Head, Homewood Flossmoor HS (Glenwood, Ill.) 

Head is another terrific athlete in this class, running a 6.22 at PG National and showing true center field chops all summer. He’s a really aggressive defender, not being afraid to go all out in either direction to make a big play. Head also has a low-90s arm and is another defender with big tools on this list.

Speed is at the foundation of Clemson Baseball commit Dillon Head's game, and is part of the reason the HFHS BASEBALL 2023 is making noise ahead of the summer's MLB draft

DILLON HEAD OF / HOMEWOOD FLOSSMOOR, IL / 2023

Rankings  STATERANK: 1 / POS: 1 OVERALLRANK: 18 / POS: 4

In another 1A-1B scenario, Head jumps into the top spot in Illinois just ahead of dynamic right-hander, Zander Mueth. There is no player in the class that the scouting community spoke more fondly of throughout the fall, and it comes with good reason. 

The electricity of the hands from the left side produce big exit velocities in spite of a smaller frame, and there is reason to believe that the Clemson recruit will quickly develop more power, of which he already exhibits some to the pull side with the ability to lift. 

However, his defensive work is what was so special this fall as he gracefully roamed center field as a plus defender with an innate ability to erase extra base hits. He has firmly put himself in Day 1 consideration with first round buzz likely to grow throughout the spring.

Dillon Head

Homewood Flossmoor

A superb athlete with premium speed, Head's a top prospect in a loaded Midwest 2023 draft class. He repeats an effortless left-handed stroke with ease and rhythm, repeating line drive contact to all fields at an advanced rate. Head uses his speed to his advantage and consistently plays with a high motor, always busting it out of the box with double-plus run times down the line. He's a true asset defensively in the outfield, darting out of his set and comfortably covering plenty of ground to both gaps. Committed to Clemson, Head projects as a top-of-the-order type at the next level with valuable defense at a premium position.

There’s bat speed and the knack for contact to spare with Head. He’s shown the ability to register some high exit velocities, and he has the speed to make an impact on the basepaths and in the outfield.
