On Sunday, February 1st, our staff hosted the annual Unsigned Senior Showcase at The Max in McCook, IL. This event is historically a success, with dozens of players each year eventually going on to commit to schools at the next level. This year was ultimately a success with another talented crop, and there will surely be some commitments coming in the near future.

We continue our post-event rollout today with a look at every single pitcher from the day, including a top-5 ranking of who our staff thought showed the best on the day.
