Kaiden Simons (2026 OF, Kansas City, KS) has shown a nice approach at the plate all weekend. Took an outside pitch and drove it to the opposite field for a double in his first at-bat Sunday. Showed fastball and curveball on the mound where he threw a scoreless inning while striking out two.

Crewe Hasenour (2027 SS, Haubstadt, IN) threw out a would be base stealer with a strong and accurate throw to second base. Moved his feet well and blocked a couple balls in the dirt behind the plate at well. Put together a couple quality at bats at the plate as well showing strike zone discipline and an understanding of what pitches he can handle at the plate.

Made one highlight play ranging to his left and making a diving catch. Made another play on a fly ball ranging straight back over his head and another coming in on a shallow hit ball to centerfield. Really covered some ground in centerfield today.

Nolan Lebert (2026 SS, Mascoutah, IL) had a nice day at the plate today. Collecting two hits and an RBI in his at-bats. Was consistently on time at the plate today and put quality swings on the baseball with some barrel speed through the zone.

Crewe Hasenour (2027 SS, Haubstadt, IN) showcased the ability to spray hard line drive contact from gap to gap throughout his round, using balanced mechanics and a quiet approach to create backspin on the baseball. Clear lower half strength is present with a repeatable bat path through the zone.

Sam Soderstrom (2025 C, Wichita, KS) started from a wider base with lots of lower half weight shift to generate consistent line drive contact to the pull side. The righty’s stroke was sound and directly translates in game with the ability to consistently get the barrel out in front.

Hunter Higgins (2026 C, Maize, KS) put his physical 6’3” 210 lb frame to work at the plate, driving baseballs with intent to all parts of the field. Higgins starts from a slightly open stance and explodes through the zone with dangerous launch angle and lots of strength in the hands. He covered the zone well and flashed the ability to work the opposite side of the field.

Wesley Brown (2026 LHP, Kingsville, MO) was another name with a repeatable and balanced stroke at the dish, displaying a direct compact path through the zone that generated hard contact to the middle of the field. Brown had evident bat speed and controlled the barrel well during his round.

Kaiden Simons (2026 OF, Kansas City, KS) wasn’t afraid to go foul line to foul line during his round, using an athletic 5’10” 155 lb frame to produce line drives on a consistent basis. Simons started from a slightly open stance with the ability to create lift on the baseball and generate backspin with ease.

Vince Lenmark (2027 RHP, Maple Grove, MN) flashed solid bat speed through the zone and proved that size isn’t everything, consistently making contact out front gap to gap. With the contact tool already present, expect potential for the righty to only continue increasing.

Hayden Hubbard (2026 3B, Lee’S Summit, MO) was an intimidating presence in the box, flashing clear hand speed with lots of physicality to his stroke. His best contact went to the pull side with good extension and developing power potential.

Shows two-way potential.

Blake Sarnecki (2026 RHP, Bucyrus, KS) tall and athletic frame on the mound with a high three-quarter arm slot. Struck out seven batters over his three innings on the mound today. Fastball and curveball combo on the mound that he mixed well.

Hayden Hubbard (2026 3B, Lee’S Summit, MO) hit an opposite field double during his first at-bat. Added a single up the middle in his second at bat, handling a low and outside pitch.  Shows a strong athletic frame in the box with the ability to drive the baseball to the gaps.

Brett McInnis (2027 C, Lemars, IA) turned on a fastball and hit a triple to right field in his second at-bat. Direct hand path to the baseball with some barrel control. One of the better swings in game today. Singled to centerfield with another on time swing in his second at-bat. Also showed some ability in the field with a nice play and throw on the run at third base.

Crewe Hasenour (2027 SS, Haubstadt, IN) had the best swing of the day on a drive to the left centerfield gap. Showed some speed getting all the way around the bases for an inside the park home run. Was impressive in the field as well making all the plays and showing a strong accurate arm.
