Top Newcomer

Jack Schwab LHP / Blue Valley, KS / 2025Rankings StateRank: 3 / POS: 1
The talented lefty burst onto the scene this spring when he punched out eight batters in three innings of relief for BV. The strikouts stacked up becuase of his ability to command an upper 80s fastball paired with a sharp slider that he consistently landed for strikes and a solid changeup that flashed heavy sink. Schwab has bloodlines in professional baseball making him and easy prospect to dream on.

Colton Roberts RHP / 1B / Rose Hill, KS / 2025Rankings StateRank: 13 / POS: 6
Roberts really showed out with advanced stuff at the Mokan Preseason All-State, but it was this spring where he was nearly un-hittable to start the spring the really saw his stock rise. Roberts posses a long, loose, and easy arm action that should continue to add velo and his pitchability makes him a must see prospect. |

Cole Pladson OF / RHP / Clay Center , KS / 2025Rankings StateRank: 14 / POS: 1
Another name who had a big preseason and followed up with an event bigger spring was Pladson. One of the big reasons Clay Center was in the KS Power 25 for most of the spring including a week where he hit .800 with three home runs. Easily one of the top left-handed bats in the class. |

Treyton DesLauriers LHP / OF / Home School, KS / 2025Rankings StateRank: 10 / POS: 2
DesLauriers was a high upside, but still raw and developing left-hander when we saw him first last fall. Since then, he has done nothing but huge jumps on the mound fulfilling at least part of that projection. With reports of DesLauriers into the upper 80s and ridiculous stat lines all spring, he rises into our top 10 with no signs of slowing down. |

Brenden Lee RHP / OF / Shawnee Mission Northwest, KS / 2025Rankings StateRank: 15 / POS: 7
The righty is one of the most improved players over the last year who showed electric stuff at the Mokan Preseason All-State. The righty was up to 86 even after suffering an ankel sprain at the event, while also mixing an above average changeup and slider. Lee also shows promise on the other side of the ball with his athleticism, frame, and wiry strength. A prospect to lock in on this summer.

William Howard C / 3B / Basehor Linwood, KS / 2025Rankings StateRank: 18 / POS: 5
Though he does not have the lowest pop time in the class, Howard is easly one of the most exciting to watch behind the plate thanks to his arm strength, receiving, and blocking. Howard also shows impressive strength at the dish with exit velos into the 100s.
