Eno and DVR are back from First Pitch Arizona to discuss a few things they learned from the 2025 season. The decision to maintain a more balanced approach to pitching on draft day helped Eno in a big way last season as the 21-40 range Starting Pitchers continue to provide plenty of added value. They look at some of the inexperienced risers in that range for 2026 including Nolan McLean, Jacob Misiorowski, Cam Schlittler, Chase Burns, and Trey Yesavage. Plus, they wonder if spring injury news should carry a higher level of importance when making draft-day decisions, and they look ahead at a few early-round surprises by November average draft position (ADP).
