With the release of the latest update to our state rankings for the 2027 class, it’s a great time to take a closer look at some of the top uncommitted prospects in the class. Only a few months have passed since recruiting restrictions were lifted on the 2027s as they began their junior years, so there are numerous big names left on the board. Over the next few days, our staff will highlight five of the top prospects at each position, with a short breakdown of each athlete. First, we'll look at the state's top five uncommitted catchers in the class. 

Colin Zimbelman C / 3B / Basehor-Linwood, KS / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 35 / POS: 1 Zimbelman is one of the more athletic backstops in the class, clocking a 6.91 60 time this summer. He's got some present power at the plate as well, putting up exit velocities in the mid 90s.

Kane Dunlavy C / 1B / Goddard, KS / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 38 / POS: 2 Dunlavy, profiles as a physical, powerful prospect behind the dish. The power shows up most clearly at the plate, where the left-handed hitter has proven to be one of the best power bats in the state, running EVs up over 102 mph.

Maddox Drumright C / RHP / Wichita Collegiate School, KS / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 39 / POS: 3 Drumright is another athletic prospect at the catching spot, but has the tools to see his power numbers take a leap as he continues to add some more strength.
