Team Kansas Junior Future Games: Data Dive

July 29, 2026
Eliott Wilk
Central Region Operations Director

On Thursday, July 23, Prep Baseball hosted the official 2026 Junior Future Games 14U Workout Day. The best uncommitted talent from the Class of 2030 all met at LakePoint Sports on this day to ignite the start of this special event, as position players were guided through this pro-style workout.

In this post, we’ll share with you the stat leaders from Team Kansas following Thursday's workout, leaderboards precisely collected by our state-of-the-art tech partners at TrackMan, Blast Motion, VALD Performance, and Vizual Edge.

Here’s a look at our team’s position players who recorded some of the most impressive metrics across these many stat categories.

VALD PERFORMANCE

TOP 60-YARD DASH

Rank Name State School Class Pos 60-yd
1 Lorin Sapp KS St. Thomas Aquinas 2030 OF 6.77 s
2 Layden Kinney KS Blue Valley 2030 OF 7.10 s
3 Hunter Wolf KS Wamego 2030 SS 7.15 s
4 Carter Hutfles KS Jefferson West 2030 SS 7.25 s
5 Christian Abbott KS Spring Hill 2030 C 7.28 s

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. We implemented three timing gates at the 10- and 30-yard splits, to capture athletes’ quickness, explosiveness and reaction time. From there, we will calculate an athlete’s top-end speed in miles per hour. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.

5 Carter Johnson KS Mulvane 2031 SS 50 %
^ Ridge Cahoone KS Maize South 2030 SS 50 %

Sweet Spot percentage: This metric is determined by how often the player produces a batted ball during the session with a launch angle between 8 to 32 degrees.

BLAST MOTION

HIGHEST AVG. HAND SPEED

Rank Name State School Class Pos Hand Speed (avg)
1 Cal Walter KS Kapaun Mt. Carmel 2030 1B 22.6 mph
2 Tim Eiter KS Olathe North 2030 OF 20.7 mph

4 Ridge Cahoone KS Maize South 2030 SS 20.0 mph
5 Carter Hutfles KS Jefferson West 2030 SS 19.8 mph

Hand Speed: The observed speed as measured on the handle of the bat (measured six inches from the knob of the bat). Peak Hand Speed will occur prior to the moment of impact, very close to the commit time in the swing when the wrists unhinge.

HIGHEST AVG. BAT SPEED

Rank Name State School Class Pos Bat Speed (avg)
1 Carter Hutfles KS Jefferson West 2030 SS 71.3 mph
2 Lorin Sapp KS St. Thomas Aquinas 2030 OF 68.9 mph
3 Cal Walter KS Kapaun Mt. Carmel 2030 1B 68.2 mph
^ Ridge Cahoone KS Maize South 2030 SS 68.2 mph
4 Tim Eiter KS Olathe North 2030 OF 66.9 mph
5 Hunter Wolf KS Wamego 2030 SS 66.2 mph

Bat Speed: The observed speed of the sweet spot of the bat at impact. The sweet spot of the bat is measured six inches from the tip of the bat.

HIGHEST AVG. ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION

Rank Name State School Class Pos Rot. Acc (avg)
1 Carter Hutfles KS Jefferson West 2030 SS 14.2 g
2 Ridge Cahoone KS Maize South 2030 SS 13.7 g
3 Lorin Sapp KS St. Thomas Aquinas 2030 OF 12.8 g
4 Cal Walter KS Kapaun Mt. Carmel 2030 1B 11.3 g
^ Tim Eiter KS Olathe North 2030 OF 11.3 g
5 Layden Kinney KS Blue Valley 2030 OF 9.4 g

Body Rotation: A swing that has the appropriate relative contributions of body and bat rotations is an efficient and powerful swing that maintains proper sequencing. An efficient baseball swing is one in which the body creates the initial movements, which is then transferred to the arms and out to the bat, thereby maximizing Bat Speed through this proximal-to-distal kinematic sequencing movement pattern.

The Edge Score is a comprehensive score out of 100 that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing athletes, parents, coaches and scouts with a benchmark number for assessing an athlete’s overall visual ability. In general the higher the Edge Score, the higher chance of athletic success. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard five tools that make up a ball player.

The average Edge Score for the 2020 MLB Draft Class was 79.3 (of hitters who completed a Vizual Edge test). MLB players we've worked with typically show stronger scores, with elite hitters scoring consistently above 87.0 on their Edge Score.
