The top infielder in Kansas’ 2026 class, Keaton Neal (Spring Hill) once again had his loud tools on display at Sunday’s event. Neal possesses a compact, repeatable swing with fluidity and effortless power. The physical 6-foot-1, 187-pound athlete had an explosive round of BP, barreling the furthest ball of the day at 367 feet with a 94 mph max exit velocity. That explosiveness transferred to the defensive side of the ball where he posted a 94 mph bullet across the diamond. Neal also posted a 6.69 60 time - the top time at the event.

One of two 2026 prospects on this list, Neal’s outing on Thursday night was one of the day’s biggest takeaways. Standing at a lanky, athletic 6-foot, 150-pounds, Neal sat at 83-84 mph with his fastball, firing an 86 mph max on his hardest bullet from an easy, low-effort operation. He showed some two-way potential at the plate as the weekend went on, particularly on Sunday when he juiced a loud triple into the right-center gap for Prime 27:17.
