Over the next couple weeks we are going to countdown the 2014 calendar year with a look at the top ten viewed profiles of 2014. After drilling down into our google analytics we have compiled a list of the ten most visited profiles by you the reader in 2014.

No. 7 Jack Eagan

Eagan’s profile interest peaked around the time of the PBR Future Games. Wautoma’s LHP led off the Future Games as the first arm out of the gate. The only southpaw to touch 90 mph, Eagan’s fastball ranged from 85-88 mph and at 6-foot-3, 208-pounds he caught the attention of the home state Hoosiers, making his verbal commitment to Indiana shortly after.

Eagan has been on the radar since early in his freshman year emerging as the top prospect in the 2016 class when the rankings were released. But it was his appearance at the Future Games that drove Eagan’s interest to another level. His profile received the most clicks in the state for the month of August, narrowly edging fellow Future Game teammate Nathan Brown.
