Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Curveball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 50 | Overall: 45

Presbyterian hasn't had a big leaguer since World War II hero Lou Brissie, and it hasn't had a player drafted since the Diamondbacks popped Bud Jeter in the 25th round in 2013. After posting a 8.44 ERA in his first two college seasons and missing most of 2023 with elbow and shoulder issues, Eagen suddenly emerged as the Blue Hose's best Draft prospect ever. The Big South Conference Pitcher of the Year, he was very efficient with his fastball/curveball combo while setting a school record with 122 strikeouts in 77 2/3 innings, and the D-backs selected him in the third round and signed him for $650,000.

Eagen's heater jumped about 5 mph this spring, operating at 93-94 mph and touching 96 with carry and armside run coming out of a high arm slot. He threw his downer curveball harder as well, turning it into a plus low-80s offering, and he also can break out a mid-80s slider with similar shape. He barely uses his changeup in games, and it's too firm at 85-87 mph.

Eagen has room to add more strength to his 6-foot-4 frame, so his stuff should continue to improve. His delivery doesn't feature excessive effort, and he repeats it well and pounds the strike zone. While he'll need to refine his changeup to succeed as a starter against better competition, his quality curveball gives him a good fallback plan as a reliever.
