On Sunday at the Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament, the schedule was the reverse of Saturday’s itinerary. The twelve teams that played one game and worked out yesterday played two on Sunday, while the other twelve teams played their final game and went through their defensive, offensive and athletic workouts.

Below are 15 pitchers and 15 position players that stood out to our scouts on Sunday:
