Baseball Talk | The Loaded Southwestern Conference (IL), Who Has the Edge? | YBMcast

We are taking our first look at one of the top conferences in IL and the teams that may be vying for the conference title and an opportunity to make a long run in the Illinois State playoffs. Edwardsville has long been the dominant team here, but O’Fallon knocked them off in the playoffs in 2025 and look loaded and ready to compete with a 2026 class that gained a ton of experience from last year. How will the Belleville squads look to compete as well as a scrappy Alton team who is bringing back a lot of arm talent — they will have to figure out where to get the offense. 📅 Mark Your Calendars — Prime Sports Midwest Demo Day! 🗓 Saturday, November 15 | Starts at 9 AM 📍 Prime Sports Midwest – St. Peters 🎯 Demo the latest bats, test new gear, win prizes, and register your team for a chance to win custom jerseys! 👉 https://www.primesportsmw.com⚾ Stay locked in with Youth Baseball Midwest—your hub for full-spectrum youth baseball insight in the Midwest. Subscribe and hit that dinger (🔔) to never miss a game-state insight.🌐 More YBM:Website: youthbaseballmidwest.comYouTube: Youth Baseball MidwestInstagram: @youthbaseballmidwestTikTok: @YouthBaseballMidwestX: @YBM_castFacebook: Youth Baseball MidwestPresented by our proud partners:Game 7 Baseball: game7baseball.comPrime Sports Midwest: primesportsmw.com🎥 Production Partner:Red Earth Productions: redearthprod.com
