January 21, 2021

The event featured nearly 40 players from all class and featured some highly ranked players that have made another jump, plus some new names that will makes splashes in our next rankings update. Below are the top performers in each metric collected at the event.
One of the offensive standouts on the day was 2023 C Elijah Kincade (Topeka HS) with a 91 mph exit velo and some loud barrels in BP. Uncommitted 2021 OF Drew Powers (Mill Valley) also had a strong offensive showing with bat speed, barrel strength, and a pull side approach, 89 mph off the tee. Defensively, 2022 SS Chase Bloomer (Ottawa HS) is a next level ready defender with excellent hands and feet while showing off a strong arm across the diamond at 85 mph. On the mound, Barton County commit Chandler Miller (Mill Valley) was a very easy 87-89 with much more to come. One of the biggest sleeper in the state is 2022 1B/RHP Maddox Burkitt (Lawrence Free State). A solid offensive player, Burkitt shines brightest on the mound right now, up to 86 and much more room to grow and add velo. Behind the dish 2022 Carter Bergman (Basehor-Linwood) showed elite pop times of 1.87-1.97.
