Week 1

Brody Epke OF / LHP / Maize South, KS / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 44 / POS: 6 The two-way prospect really shined on the mound in this one. Epke has continued to prove that he contorls the baseball on the mound and the barrel in the box. With a polishied skill set, Epke will see his name climb recretuing boards with every ounce of strength and size he adds to his frame.  ‘26 Brody Epke (@baseball_mshs) Earning the W for the Mavs, Epke was stellar going 6 innings with 12Ks, only allowing 1 T on 2 H and 2 BB. Fastball 81-83 Slider 74-76 pic.twitter.com/Xeq4UcbxZa — Prep Baseball Kansas (@PrepBaseballKS) March 16, 2024

Landon Haines 1B / RHP / Circle , KS / 2024 Rankings  StateRank: 48 / POS: 3 A contry strong two-way prospect, we like Haines the most on the mound. The right-hander reaches up to 90 with a fastball that seems to jump on hitters. With the devolpment of his slider he could be an impact arm out of the pen at Barton next spring and has the physical durabilty to grow into a start with experience.  ‘24 Landon Haines (@baseball_circle & @Barton_Baseball commit) Commanded the fastball in the zone to get ahead early. Showed slider with good depth late in at bats. Fastball sat 87-89 and T90 a few times early Slider 76-78 pic.twitter.com/kyfPLmylAg — Prep Baseball Kansas (@PrepBaseballKS) March 16, 2024
