July 26, 2024
By: Diego Solares
Central Region Media Director, Scouting

From Wednesday, July 24, through Sunday, July 28, Prep Baseball is hosting the next edition of its prestigious Future Games at LakePoint Sports Complex in Emerson, Ga., featuring the country's best uncommitted talent. And, for the first time ever, the Future Games is hosting not just its typical set of incoming juniors and freshmen, but also a 17U division of uncommitted Class of 2025 players who will participate in the inaugural Senior Future Games.

On the first day of the 2024 Future Games, all players representing grad classes 2025, 2026, and 2028 will be participating in a pro-style workout in front of a fleet of Division I coaches alongside fellow prospects representing nearly every state in the nation.

Yesterday, our staff rolled out several of the day’s stat standouts in leaderboard format within our traditional ‘Stat Story’, which you can find HERE. 

We’ve gone into greater detail within this piece from Wednesday’s workout and broken down more of the day’s standouts in written form. Continue reading below to learn more about a handful of players that turned heads in Team Kansas’ workout. 

WORKOUT NOTES

+ C Carson May (Olathe East, 2026) owns all sorts of bat strength within a highly physical 6-foot-1, 211-pound frame. May impacted the baseball with the highest level of authority on repeat, producing a handful of low-100 exit velocities, including a 102.6 mph peak. He hammered his furthest ball 390 feet, comfortably clearing the left field wall and the building structure behind it. Defensively, May worked up to 80 mph from behind the plate and popped in the 1.87-to-1.92. May continues to only solidify his status as an upper-echelon prospect in the Kansas’ 2026 class. 

+ Perhaps the biggest winner from Team Kansas was INF Milo Burton (Olathe East, 2026), who uncorked barrel after barrel to the pull-side in BP from a long, leveraged right-handed stroke. Plenty projectable at 6-foot-3, 180-pounds, Burton produced some of the firmest contact on average (91.1 mph) of this group, and he juiced his firmest ball up at 95.9 mph. Additionally, Burton elevated the baseball with consistency, including an average batted mark of 300 feet with a 357 ft. peak. He also ran a 6.83 60 and was up to 89 mph across the infield. 

+ One of the first players to hit for Team Kansas, OF Luke Hanahan (Blue Valley Southwest, 2026) came out of the gates with easy juice from the left side. The physical left-handed hitting outfielder juiced balls off the barrel with regularity, working uphill to contact from a fluid, yet aggressive, barrel. His furthest ball traveled 373 feet, averaging 251 feet per batted ball, and he squared his hardest ball up at 98.4 mph, which was one of the higher marks on this club. Hanahan also ran a 6.83 60, reached 20.2 mph at peak, and jumped 33 inches in the vertical test. 

+ C/1B Roy Roseman (Olathe West) continued to show why he’s one of the more physical bats in the state’s 2026 class on workout day. A switch-hitter, Roseman flashed notable raw power at peak, especially from the left side. He worked uphill to contact, squaring his hardest ball up at 96.8 mph with a peak batted distance of 372 feet. Roseman was up to 76 mph from the crouch and popped in the 1.95-to-2.05 range. 

+ C/OF Jackson Lucht (Mill Valley, 2026) produced high end bat speed and batted ball outputs to the pull-side throughout his round. Lucht flicked baseballs off a heavy barrel to left field, posting a 292 ft. average batted distance with a 368 ft. peak mark. He pairs his ability to elevate the baseball with equal bat strength, juicing his hardest ball up at 97.7 mph. The 5-foot-11, 233-pound right-handed hitter also ran a 6.93 60. 

+ C/1B Danny Napier III (Louisburg, 2026) is a highly physical right-handed bat that flashed notable juice in BP; 102.9 mph max exit velocity, 355 foot peak batted distance. Napier III ran a 7.01 60-yard dash and was up to 79 mph from the crouch, popping in the 1.89-to-1.96 range. 

+ MIF Sawyer Newton (Manhattan, 2026) repeatedly got off intentful hacks from the left side, back spinning baseballs into the right-center field gap. He drove his deepest barrel 337 feet, and he averaged 255 feet per batted ball, too. Newton showed well in other aspects of his workout as well; he ran a 6.85 60, reached a peak run speed of 20.2 mph, and he was 88 mph across the infield on his firmest bullet. 

+ MIF Ben Graves (Lawrence Free State, 2026) swung a loose, clean left-handed barrel that effortlessly sprayed line drives to all fields as he went on. His polish showed on the infield as well, where he has a chance to stick on the dirt at the next level and adding even more value to his all-around profile. Graves will be one to follow for Team Kansas throughout the week as the event rolls on. 

+ MIF Ethan Carswell (Blue Valley, 2026) flashed feel to elevate gap-to-gap from both sides of the plate throughout his round of BP at Wednesday’s workout. The sure-handed 5-foot-10, 170-pound showed clean actions on the infield and was 87 mph across the diamond on his firmest throw. 

+ MIF/OF Brady Stewart (St. Thomas Aquinas, 2026) swung a short, simple, and compact left-handed barrel that was able to produce line drive contact to all fields as he went on in BP. He worked on the barrel often and flashed impact at peak; 93.7 mph max exit velocity, 345 ft. peak batted distance. Additionally, Stewart reached an 85 mph high across the infield and was up to 87 mph from the outfield in his workout. He also ran a 6.87 60 and jumped 30.2 inches. 

+ 1B Drew Yockey (Mill Valley, 2026) has middle-of-the-order upside to pair with a 6-foot-2, 228-pound frame. Yockey’s right-handed barrel flashed pull-side impact, drilling several loud line drives into the left-center gap, including his firmest at 96.5 mph. Additionally, Yockey swatted his furthest 352 feet, per TrackMan. 

+ 3B/RHP Cale Fossett (Shawnee Mission North, 2026) is a physical 6-foot-2, 205-pound right-handed hitter that took one of the louder rounds of BP on Wednesday. Fossett wore out the deepest parts of the left-center gap, squaring his hardest ball up at 99.2 mph, while averaging 92.2 mph per barrel. His swing works short and uphill to contact, and he also swatted his deepest ball 363 feet, with an average batted distance of 291 feet on the day. Fossett was up to 87 mph across the infield and has also been upper-80s on the mound. 

+ INF Blake Jay (Mill Valley, 2026) sprayed line drives throughout his round from a simple, direct right-handed swing that’s a proven in-game performer. Jay showed polish on the infield and ran a 6.82 60, while reaching a peak run speed of 20.7 mph and jumping 32.2 inches. 

+ OF Benjamin Burton (Olathe East, 2026) is a 6-foot-3, 180-pound athlete with upside that ran a 6.83 60 and produced line drive contact from a long, level right-handed swing.
