The Juco Showcase took place this past weekend at Dugan Field with ten games featuring all ten Tennessee teams. There was a sea of college recruiters and pro scouts locked in to see the next group of Juco talent. There were 24 arms that topped 90+ on the mound, lead by Columbia's Ryan Degges who touched 94 on Saturday night. It was clear that the arm talent was ahead of the bats at this point in the fall, but there were several intriguing bats who will look to make some noise this season. Dive in below on quick hits and also Trackman data captured from gameplay.
