Over the course of this week we will be releasing position-by-position analysis articles with scouting reports on each player and identifying the top prospects.  Two-way prospects will appear in a position analysis as well as pitching analysis.  We shall identify top prospect in each area and identify a younger talent (2018 or 2019) as a Future Watch if applicable

Today we look at the Pitchers that participated in the event:
