Shortly after the event, our staff compiled several of the day’s stat leaders inside our traditional ‘Stat Story’ and 'Data Dive', which you can find HERE

Today, after combing through our notes from the day, we’ve compiled some of the event’s standouts below within these ‘Quick Hits’.

Quick Hits

+ OF Cole Adams (Eisenhower, 2025) came away from Saturday’s event as an uncommitted name to know in the state. A physical, 6-foot-2, 170-pound athlete that can play just about anywhere on the field, Adams impressed our staff on both sides of the ball in this look. The senior posted the fastest 60 of the day with a 6.82 mark while also firing a 86 mph bullet from the outfield on his firmest throw - also tops at the event. At the plate, the righty showed an advanced feel for the barrel, consistently spraying line drives to all fields with a quick, compact inside-out swing. With plenty more power to come as he adds strength, Adams posted a top exit velocity of 87.3 mph. 

+ With advanced strength in a 6-foot, 217-pound frame, INF Heath Hoekman (Abilene, 2026) was on the barrel with authority throughout his round of batting practice in Saturday’s look. Hoekman worked from gap-to-gap at the plate, using a strong right-handed swing to produce an event best 86.2 mph average exit velocity. He barreled his best ball at 92.5 mph, sending it 342 feet. The junior also ran a 7.18 60 with a 79 mph arm across the infield to pair.  

+ RHP Owen Glamann (Eisenhower, 2026) continues to impress our staff with every look on the mound. Featuring a lean, 6-foot-1, 163-pound frame, Glamann ran his fastball up to 84.7 mph, sitting in the low-to-mid-80s, with plenty more velo to come as he adds size and strength. Aside from his velocity which led the event, Glamann’s fastball also played with ride and run through the zone, averaging over 17 inches of vertical break and over 14 inches of horizontal movement. Off of that he spun a true 12/6 curveball at 67-69 mph with depth and a tumbling, low-spin change up at 72-73 mph.

+ Another impressive performance on the mound came from LHP Will Beckmann (Wichita Northwest, 2025). With plenty of projectability in a 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame, Beckmann pitched in the low-80s with his fastball with plenty more to come as he adds strength. Off of that he spun a sweeping curveball at 68-70 mph and turned over a changeup at 73-76 mph that flashed arm side fade at times. 

+ INF/RHP Zac Thompson (Harrah, 2025; OK) is a standout two-way from Oklahoma to know from this event, making noticeable jumps in his metrics across the board since our last look at the Oklahoma Preseason All-State earlier this year. At the plate, the senior used an explosive, rhythmic swing to consistently drive the ball in BP, posting the second highest exit velocity of the day with a 93.7 mph mark and a strong 83.8 mph average. His arm played true across the infield where he led all infielders with a 83 mph bullet across the diamond. That arm strength carried over to the mound to wrap up the day where he ran his fastball up to 84.4 mph, sitting from 81-83 mph while showing the aptitude to command a curveball/slider/changeup mix for strikes.

+ Boden Miller's (Fairview, 2025; OK) strength was on full display at the plate in Saturday’s look. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound senior was near the top of the leaderboards in nearly every offensive category thanks to a heavy right-handed barrel that consistently produced hard contact throughout his round of batting practice. Miller sent his best ball 323 feet at 96.4 mph - the top exit velocity of the day. 

+ At a physical, 6-foot-1, 190-pounds, Trevor Haws (Chisholm, 2025; OK) showcased a quick, rotational, right-handed stroke that was consistently on the barrel throughout his round of batting practice. He worked from gap-to-gap, flashing feel and aptitude to elevate the ball to the pullside of the field. From behind the plate, Haws posted a 76 mph top velocity with a developing transfer that produced 1.95-2.18 pop times. 

+ Jacob Doty (Maize, 2025) offers plenty of projection and room to add both strength and size in a 6-foot, 152-pound frame. At the plate, Doty swung a simple right-handed barrel that worked line drives back through the middle of the field. However, where Doty shined the most was on the infield, where he showed smooth, sure-handed actions at short with a 81 mph arm to pair.
