November 19, 2025
Prep Baseball Kansas Staff

On Saturday, November 8th, the Prep Baseball Kansas staff traveled to Mac N Seitz Indoor Facility in Kansas City, MO to host the annual Mac N Seitz Scout Day. This event featured 65+ players from the Mac N Seitz program in attendance.

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.

Earlier, our staff rolled out the day’s statistical standouts in leaderboard format within our ‘Stat Story’, which you can find HERE. Today, after combing through our notes from the day, we’ve compiled some of the event’s standouts within these ‘Quick Hits’. Read below to learn about 9 names that popped to our staff from Saturday's trip to Kansas City.

Quick Hits

+ RHP Andrew Lynch (Nevada (MO), 2027) put together a strong performance on the mound in this look, showing off a solid four-pitch mix. The fastball sat in the mid 80s, topping out at 87 mph. His best offspeed offering at the moment looks to be a high spin curveball (2,400 RPM), with depth at -16.5" avg. IVB. His arsenal also featured a hard changeup at 76-79 mph and a slider at 75-76 mph.

+ A physical propsect on the mound, standing at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds, RHP Cade Riggin (Lee's Summit West (MO), 2026) showcased an impressive four-pitch mix in Saturday's look. His best pitch in the arsenal was the mid-80s fastball, topping out at 85 mph, with an average spin rate of 2,250 RPM. Off of the fastball he spins two distinct breaking balls, a 72-73 mph curveball and a 72-74 mph slider, while rounding out his arsenal with a changeup at 78-79 mph.

+ RHP Bodie Arthur (Rockhurst (MO), 2026) is another high quality arm who impressed at this event. The senior proved to spin the ball at a very high level, and has the arsenal to rack up swings and misses for Rockhurst this spring. The fastball sat in the low 80s, topping out at 84.2 mph. The eye-catchers of his bullpen were his pairing of offspeed offerings, a slider and changeup that profile well together. The high spin slider (2,600+ RPM) produced an average of -13.7 inches of glove-side break, while the changeup regularly neared 20 inches of arm-side run.

+ LHP Trip Kratofil (Rockhurst (MO), 2026; Washington & Lee) showed a strong feel for the zone, proving able to consistently land each of his four pitches for strikes throughout his bullpen. The left-hander pairs a low-to-mid-80s fastball that showed lively movement (14.2 IVB, 11.2 HM) with two breaking balls and a changeup that featured heavy arm-side run (18" avg. horizontal movement).

+ INF/RHP William Pepper (Spring Hill, 2028) put together one of the most complete two-way performances of the event. At the plate, the sophomore was near the top of the leaderboard in exit velocity, with a max EV of 98.3 mph. Defensively, he showcased excellent arm strength, firing his best bullet across the infield at 90 mph. That arm strength translated to the mound where Pepper was 84-85 mph with the fastball, topping out at 86 mph. He rounded out a three-pitch arsenal with a curveball-changeup mix at 70-71 mph and 77-78 mph respectivley.

+ 1B/RHP Jayden Austin (Shawnee Mission East, 2027) displayed present power at the plate, as well as a strong feel for the barrel throughout his round of BP on Saturday. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound junior was up to 92.2 mph at the plate with room for much more to come in a lean frame.

+ Another two-way standout from the event, LHP/OF Zayne Valdez (Nevada (MO), 2027) impressed on both sides of the ball in Saturday's look. On the mound, the left-hander was up to 82 mph with the fastball, and worked off the heater with a trio of offspeed offerings.
