As we wrap up our coverage of the Preseason Identification we conclude with the pitchers. By far the deepest group of the day, we saw plenty of projectable talent up and down the board. With three freshman and six sophomores making the cut, there is plenty of upside in this group, especially from the left side.

The top pitchers were led by Zack Henderson, who sat at a consistent 88 mph with an excellent changeup, and Jack Eagan who might be the top prospect in the 2016 class, already sitting at 82-84 mph from the left side with a highly advanced curveball.
