McHenry Preseason ID: Pitcher Analysis
April 18, 2024
On Saturday, February 10th, our staff hosted the McHenry Preaseason ID at the Pro Player Academy in McHenry, IL. This event hosted just over 130 players, and allowed our staff to get an in-depth look at a number of prospects in the area prior to the spring season.
The past few days, we have broken down the catchers, outfielders and infielders from the event. Today, we continue our post-event rollout with scouting reports on every single pitcher that was in attendance, as well as a Top-20 listing of who our staff deemed as the top pitching prospects from the group.
