As we quickly approach our most talented event of the year, the MOKAN Preseason All-State, PBR Kansas will highlight some of the top players already slated to be at the event. Today, we take an in-depth look at 2024 Jack Naujokaitis. The right-handed hitter produced one of the loudest rounds of BP we saw all year at the Natural Baseball Scout Day this fall. Consistently on time and finding barrel with a short, but explosive swing, there is not reason to belie Naujokitis' swing wont play at the next leel as well.
