The top two catchers for the 2016 class in the Buckeye state are off the board with No. 2 ranked Ty Duvall (Vanderbilt) and No. 5 ranked Chase Murray (Georgia Tech) each committed to big time schools. However, there are plenty of quality backstops still available in Ohio. Below we would like to highlight seven uncommitted prospects for everyone.
