On Sunday, March 1st, our staff hosted the Joliet Preseason ID at Rhino Sports Academy in Shorewood, IL. This event was host to nearly 130 players from the area, and allowed our staff to get a good look at the gains these players have made in the off-season in a pro-style workout.

Today, we are continuing our post-event rollout with a look at every single pitchers from the day, along with a Top-15 ranking of who our staff thought showed the best on the day, below.
