On Saturday, Feb. 11, the PBR Illinois staff traveled to Pro Player Academy in McHenry to host the McHenry Preseason ID - an event that’s been on our winter calendar since 2016. This event provides our staff an up-close opportunity to check on 100+ high school prospects hailing from all high school classes, this region of the state, and the Fox Valley Conference, early in the year. 

This week we began our positional breakdown of the event, starting with a look at the catchers, infielders and outfielders. Today we convlude the position al breakdown with a look at the arms from the day. This was arguably the msot talented, deepest position group of the day as a number of the arms listed below should be followed closely moving forward.

Read on below for a look at all of the pitchers, including the Top-15 right-handed pitchers and top-three left-handers.
