+ 3B/RHP Ty Aguilar (Creighton Prep, NE, 2028) had a strong showing in game one, going 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI. The 2025 Super Sophomore attendee stands 6-foot-1 with plenty of pop in his bat. At 174 pounds, he has room to add strength in the coming years, making him a prospect to keep a close eye on moving forward.

+ RHP/1B Aaron Jaquez (Falcon HS, CO, 2026), a UNC commit, was electric in a short two-inning outing, allowing just one hit and no runs. He struck out four while walking only one, showcasing a low-90s fastball and a sharp, sweeping slider.

+ RHP Winston Patterson (Ralston Valley, CO, 2027), a 2025 Future Gamer, was in complete control for Elite Baseball 18U. The 6-foot-6 righty fired five scoreless innings, allowing just two hits while striking out eight. Patterson works in the mid-to-high 80s with a tight curveball, and with plenty of room to add strength, he’s a prospect to watch in the coming years.

+ OF/LHP Keelan Zumwalt (Summit Christian, MO, 2028) is widely regarded as one of the top players in the country, and it’s easy to see why. At 6-foot-4, he’s extremely advanced in the batter’s box and projects as an impact bat at any level. He went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two walks (one intentional), highlighted by a two-run homer in the first inning of game two for Building Champions Cisneros that turned heads.

+ SS Brody Jindra (Elkhorn South, NE, 2026) was all over the field for Nebraska Prospects, flashing smooth defense at shortstop by making above-average plays look routine and driving the ball at the plate. At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, Jindra is physical enough to make an immediate impact when he steps on campus at Nebraska.

+ INF Blake Fort (Lewis Central Senior HS, IA, 2028) brings serious juice at the plate, blending above-average discipline with an aggressive approach that makes it clear he’s up there to do damage. He showcased his strength in the semifinal game with a 98 mph double on a line over the center fielder’s head. At 6-foot-2, 183 pounds with room to add strength, Fort has the potential to reach mid-to-high 100s exit velocities in the coming years.

Blake Fort

+ C Yale Johnson (Chandler HS, AZ, 2026) showed off his power in the semifinal and championship games, collecting two home runs, a double, and six RBIs. The Northern Colorado commit is a physical backstop who is a run producer in big spots.

+ SS/RHP Kalai Larsen (Lincoln East, NE, 2027) had an impressive performance at the plate in the semifinal, tallying two extra-base hits and a walk. He tripled in a run in the fourth inning and later doubled in the sixth to keep the rally alive. A 2025 Future Gamer and one of the top pitching prospects in the country, Larsen also continues to prove he can be a real presence with the bat.

+ 3B Cole Pfiefer (Ralston Valley, CO, 2026) came up big for the Slammers in the championship game, collecting three hits, including a double, and driving in three runs. The 2024 Futures Gamer proved to be a tough out, consistently working deep counts and coming through when it mattered most.

+ OF/1B Jacob Olson (Regis Jesuit, CO, 2026) delivered once again, going 4-for-5 with two RBIs and five total bases in the championship game. Olson was a major factor in the Slammers bringing home the title.

+ SS/RHP Travis Kenz (Valor Christian, CO, 2028) put together a strong tournament on both sides of the ball for Elite Baseball 18U, showing poise while competing against older players. In the final, he turned in a two-hit performance, including a deep single that came just inches short of clearing the fence. Kenz is one of the more intriguing young prospects in the region and is definitely a name to follow.

Travis Kenz

+ SS Brooks Bond (Lewis Central Senior HS, IA, 2028) offers plenty of reasons to follow his game. A premium defender at shortstop and a pure hitter with the ability to drive the ball, the 2025 Super Sophomore blends speed and strength at the plate with high-end athleticism on the bases and in the field. Bond went a perfect 3-for-3 in the championship game, helping the Iowa Sticks secure the title.
