March 2, 2026
Eliott Wilk
Central Region Operations Director

On Sunday, February 8th, the Prep Baseball Kansas staff traveled to the Mac N Seitz Indoor Facility in Kansas City, MO to host the annual MOKAN Preseason All-State. This event was open for 2026-2029 class members, selected by invite, and featured 120+ players from the two state area.

All of our events offer players the opportunity to update their recruiting resume and showcase their talents in front of our staff. We also use these events as identifiers for future invite-only events, like the Preseason All-State, our summer Top Prospect Games, and the prestigious Prep Baseball Future Games that takes place at the tail end of the summer.

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

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

KANSAS FOLLOWS

+ 1B/OF Jake Bartley (Abilene, 2027) remains one of the top uncommitted upperclass bats to follow this spring. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound lefty continuously performs against quality arms, showing a polished, repeatable stroke with impact power. On Sunday, he backed it up with a 103.6 mph peak exit velocity and 89.2 mph average in one of the loudest and most conistent BP rounds on the day.

+ A two-way prospect who shined brightest with the bat in Sunday’s event, 1B/OF Parker Jackson (Concordia, 2027) continues to show added power and athleticism in his game. Jackson was on the barrel throughout BP, averaging 95.6 mph per batted ball and peaking at a 102.7 mph exit velocity, one of the top marks of the day. He also showed athleticism with a 3.89 30-yard split.

+ A well-known name to our staff, INF Cale Fossett (Shawnee Mission South, 2026; Kansas City Kansas CC signee) showed major strides with the bat during Sunday’s trip to Mac N Seitz. Fossett continues to add power and polish to his swing, driving balls back through the middle throughout his BP round, resulting in a 103 mph peak exit velocity and a 352 foot peak distance. He also showed arm strength across the diamond, firing an 88 mph throw on his best infield bullet.

Cale Fossett

+ INF Cade Elder (Homeschool, 2027) is an uncommitted bat to follow from Sunday’s Kansas City trip. The physical 6-foot, 205-pound junior jumped nearly 10 mph in exit velocity, peaking at 102.1 mph, barreling line drives consistently throughout his round. Defensively, he showed reliable footwork and a strong 82 mph arm across the infield. A name to keep an eye on this spring.

+ One of the top two-way performances of the day came from Macoy Moody (Wamego, 2027), a 2025 Future Games alum. Moody showed added strength and power with the bat, barreling his best ball at 102.2 mph while posting one of the day’s top averages at 97.3 mph per batted ball with a 100% hard-hit rate. A capable arm on the mound that has shown the ability to miss bats, Moody worked at 85–86 mph with his fastball, consistently landing a 67–77 mph slider for strikes and turning over a 74–75 mph changeup to round out his arsenal.

Macoy Moody

+ INF Everett Finnell (Blue Valley Northwest, 2027) continues to improve with each look from our staff, and Sunday was no different. The 5-foot-11, 165-pound athlete now produces triple-digit exit velocities, peaking at 100.5 mph while averaging 87.7 mph, and barreled one of the day’s furthest balls at 393 feet. Finnell also showed high-level defensive actions at shortstop, pairing arm strength (T85 mph) with range and reliable footwork, while posting a 3.99 30-yard split. He should be an impact player for the Huskies this spring as his tools continue to translate in game.

+ Sunday provided our staff with an updated look at uncommitted senior OF Zach Noonan (Blue Valley West, 2026), who turned in a complete performance. Built with strength throughout a 5-foot-11, 188-pound frame, Noonan consistently produced hard contact to the pull side from a flat, right-handed swing, averaging 93.6 mph per batted ball and peaking at 100.5 mph. He also showed reliable footwork in the outfield and an 85 mph arm as well.

+ OF/RHP Tucker Lee (De Soto, 2027) is one of the more intriguing two-way prospects to follow from Sunday’s look. Lee has continued a steady rise in stock after a breakout showing at our Kansas Fall Games and shows no signs of slowing down. Lee ran his fastball up to 86 mph in this outing with more velocity likely to come from a strength-filled 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame, pairing the heater with a 74–75 mph slider and 83–84 mph sinker. At the plate, he took another jump, peaking at 100.2 mph exit velocity, and also recorded the day’s top outfield velocity at 93 mph. Lee should be an impact player for De Soto this spring.

Tucker Lee

+ A trio of uncommitted junior power bats, OF Isaac Holt (Andover, 2027), 1B Hudson Hardesty (Lawrence, 2027) and INF Joshua Lopez (Bishop Miege, 2027), had strong showings in Sunday’s look. Holt continues to add polish to his swing, posting a 93.5 mph average with a 99.9 mph peak exit velocity, while 2025 Future Game alum Hardesty posted a 99.3 mph peak mark and Lopez barreled his best ball at 98.2 mph, averaging 90.7 mph per swing.

+ OF Colt McMahon (Paola, 2027) turned in a strong all-around performance at this event. The 5-foot-11, 179-pound right-handed hitter sprayed line drives to all fields from a simple, level, and direct swing, peaking at 97.5 mph exit velocity. Defensively, he showed reliable actions in the outfield with an 83 mph arm.

+ INF Skyler Bernbeck (Blue Valley, 2027) and INF Jett Wood (St. Thomas Aquinas, 2027) are a pair of infielders and summer teammates who will be names to know for their respective high schools this spring. Bernbeck shows some of the top bat-to-ball skills in the state from a simple, repeatable left-handed swing, flashing sneaky pull-side pop with a 97.1 mph peak exit velocity and a 376-foot max distance. He was also up to 85 mph across the infield with sure-handed actions and flashed versatility to play the outfield as well. Wood continues to add strength to his athletic, 6-foot, 172-pound frame, peaking at 96.2 mph exit velocity from a right-handed swing that has shown the ability to handle higher-level pitching. Defensively, Wood was comfortable on the move and reached 86 mph across the infield.

Skyler Bernbeck

+ A backstop to note from Sunday's trip to Kansas City is C Jaxon Pollard (Jefferson West, 2027). A two-sport standout who also excels on the gridiron, Pollard brings strength in a 5-foot-10, 212-pound frame and showed raw bat power from an impactful right-handed swing. Working to the pull side throughout his round, his hardest hit ball came off the bat at 97.1 mph, averaging 88.9 mph. An athletic mover defensively with arm strength from the chute, Pollard will be a name to know for the Tigers this spring.

+ C Calder Townsend (Olathe North, 2027) is another physically impressive backstop from this look, standing at 6-foot-2, 181 pounds. Townsend showed tools in every facet of his game — from a strong 77 mph arm from the chute and 2.00–2.18 pop times, to a 95.9 mph exit velocity from a powerful right-handed swing. A breakout spring appears to be in line for Townsend.

+ INF Tison Wren (Olathe Northwest, 2027) impressed with one of the more advanced defensive performances of the day, pumping a 90 mph throw across the diamond, the top mark of the event, while also showing reliable hands, strong range, and comfortability on the move in the infield. Wren also showed added strength at the plate, posting a 95.2 mph peak exit velocity from a level right-handed stroke.

+ With plenty of projection in a 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame, RHP/1B Calem Yount (Blue Valley North) came away from this event as a two-way name to note. Yount ran his fastball up to 86 mph on the mound, complementing the heater with a 66–69 mph curveball with downer shape, a 76–78 mph changeup, and a 66–67 mph splitter on which he killed spin. He also posted a 93.6 mph exit velocity at the plate, with more still in the tank on both sides of the ball. 

+ Few in attendance boosted their prospect stock more than Steven Zimbelman (Basehor-Linwood, 2026). At 6-foot-1, 181 pounds, Zimbelman has added noticeable strength and size since our last look last summer, and it showed with a significant jump in velocity on the mound. The uncommitted senior's fastball jumped out of the hand at 89–90 mph, touching 90.6 mph with an average spin rate of 2,519 RPM. He also showed confidence landing a high-spin (2,629 RPM) curveball with up to -16.1 inches of horizontal movement for strikes, along with an 84–85 mph changeup. With the makings of a frontline arm for the Bobcats this spring, Zimbelman is a must-see name on the mound.

+ LHP Gavin Perez (Shawnee Mission East, 2026; Kansas City Kansas CC commit) showed feel for three pitches to pair with an upside 6-foot, 171-pound frame. The left-hander worked 85–87 mph, touching 88, with a heavy fastball. He ripped off a 73–78 mph breaking ball that flashed sharp spin (T2,705 RPM) and reached 21.1 inches of horizontal movement. Perez also threw an 81–82 mph changeup with the same arm speed and intent as his fastball, consistently landing it around the zone.

+ RHP/C Collin Schmidt (Shawnee Mission South, 2027) is a two-way name that continues to show well each time we see him, shining brightest on the mound in Sunday’s look. Schmidt ran his fastball up to 88 mph, pairing it with a 71–72 mph curveball and killings spin on a 75–77 mph tumbling splitter. He also flashed feel for an 81–82 mph sinker.

+ RHP Carson Cooke (Mill Valley, 2027) continues to solidify his status as one of the top arms in the state’s 2027 class with another impressive showing in this look. The 2025 Future Games alum saw another uptick in velocity, running his fastball up to 88.5 mph, sitting comfortably 87–88 mph throughout his ‘pen with heavy arm-side action. Featuring one of the best breaking balls in the state, Cooke spun his tight slider at 78–79 mph, averaging 2,763 RPM, showing true swing-and-miss ability. He also turned over an 81–82 mph changeup that featured up to 21 inches of arm-side action, rounding out one of the more polished arsenals in the state.

+ A well-known name to our staff, Nolan Bell (Blue Valley, 2026; Johnson County CC commit) showed feel for his entire four-pitch arsenal in this look. The Johnson County CC commit ran his fastball up to 87 mph, flashing two breaking balls - a 72–73 mph curveball and a 75–76 mph slider - to go along with an 80–81 mph changeup. A poised and tested arm, Bell will be a frontline veteran presence on the mound for the Tigers this spring.

+ A high-pitchability arm, Ben Goodwin (Shawnee Mission West, 2026) will be a name to keep an eye on this spring after helping lead the Vikings to a state title game appearance last season. An elite strike thrower, the compact 5-foot-9, 173-pound left-hander was up to 85 mph with his fastball in this look while showing command of a 73–74 mph slider.

+ A trio of projectable junior arms - Fuzz Kerns (Olathe North, 2027), Andrew Poss (Rose Hill, 2027) and Carter Nelson (Blue Valley Southwest, 2027) - put together strong showings in Sunday’s look. Kerns, a 6-foot-3, 203-pound right-hander, was up to 85.5 mph with his fastball, spinning a 71–72 mph curveball and killing spin on a 78–79 mph splitter. Poss, standing at 6-foot-3, 153 pounds, worked up to 84 mph with his fastball while mixing a curveball/changeup combination. Nelson is a 6-foot-2, 160-pound left-hander who reached 84.6 mph with his fastball and paired it with a slider/splitter mix that shows swing-and-miss potential.

MISSOURI FOLLOWS

+ Sunday’s trip to Kansas City gave our staff another look at one of the top prospects in the state in INF/C Troy Fisher (Liberty North, 2026; Arkansas signee). An explosive athlete who consistently performs in each look, Fisher’s power was on full display once again as he set a new personal best with a 104.4 mph peak exit velocity and a 93.3 mph average exit velocity from a polished right-handed swing that looks to elevate and do damage. He also fired a 90 mph bullet across the diamond while showing athletic, confident actions on the infield.

Troy Fisher

+ A pair of Show Me State juniors - Blake Hollrah (Orchard Farm, 2027) and Chase Chamberlain (Boonville, 2027) — had strong showings with the bat in Sunday’s look. Hollrah, a physical 6-foot-2, 209-pound right-handed hitter, squared his firmest ball up 371 feet at 98.9 mph, while Chamberlain averaged 90.7 mph per batted ball, peaking at 97 mph, and also reached 88 mph on his best bullet across the diamond.

+ INF/RHP Fields Floersch (Blue Springs, 2027) is a two-way prospect who continues to intrigue our staff each time we see him. Floersch’s advanced bat strength was on display in BP, posting a 99.8 mph max exit velocity with an 87.3 mph average, showing a more polished offensive profile than in previous looks. On the mound, he ran his fastball up to 89.6 mph, sitting 87–89 mph, while mixing a curveball/slider combination that shows swing-and-miss potential. With spring approaching, Floersch will be a name to watch this spring for the Wildcats.

Fields Floersch

+ INF/RHP Mason Young (Webb City, 2027) is another two-way follow this spring as he continues to trend upward across multiple looks. Young was on the barrel throughout BP, showing above average bat and hand speed while working primarily to the pull side, peaking at 94.7 mph on his best barrel. He also showed notable arm strength in the infield (T87 mph), which carried over to the mound where he ran his fastball up to 88.5 mph. Off that, Young ripped off a 66–70 mph curveball with -15.6 inches of horizontal movement and effectively killed spin on a 77–78 mph changeup.

+ RHP Connor Harris (Fort Osage, 2027) caught our attention last summer at the American Legion Scout Day, but it was in Sunday's look were junior emerged as one of the day's biggest winners on the mound. The 5-foot-10, 186-pound strength-filled right-hander filled up the zone with a riding 85–86 mph fastball, averaging 18.2 inches of induced vertical break and touching 87 mph. He also showed feel for two breaking balls, including a 73–75 mph curveball and a 74 mph slider with up to -15.4 inches of horizontal movement. Harris rounded out his arsenal by turning over a 79–80 mph changeup with up to 18.7 inches of arm-side fade.
