2026 Super Senior Games: Upper Midwest Standouts

August 4, 2026

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS - Kansas City served as another checkpoint for some of the best uncommitted talent in the Upper Midwest's 2027 class. While the data collected throughout the week helps tell part of the story, there were a handful of players who simply kept standing out every time I wandered over to a different field. Here's who caught my eye during the Super Senior Games.

Dakotas

Caiden Comparetto | LHP | Rapid City Stevens

Comparetto is another intriguing left-hander coming out of Rapid City Stevens. He reached 88.6 mph but looked comfortable living in the 85-86 range while attacking hitters from a lower, whippy slot that creates natural run on the fastball. The slider has late bite and enough shape to miss bats. He's athletic down the mound, repeats it well and has the kind of operation that feels like there's another jump still coming.

Trevor Schlosser | RHP | Rapid City Stevens

It's hard not to dream on a 6-foot-5, 236-pound right-hander with feel for spin.

The fastball was only 85 mph this weekend, but Schlosser's frame immediately grabs your attention and the breaking ball backed it up. He spun it north of 2,800 RPM with more than 17 inches of horizontal movement, showing the ability to throw it for strikes or bury it when he wanted. If the velocity comes with maturity, there's something here.

Iowa

JJ Phillips | OF | Pleasantville

There may not have been a more complete player from the Upper Midwest than Phillips.

He checked just about every box. A 6.72 runner. 91 mph from the outfield. 102.2 mph off the bat. Then he went out and hit two home runs in game while showing one of the better offensive approaches on the field. Phillips rarely chased pitches outside the zone and looked under control in nearly every at-bat. The tools are obvious, the player might be even better.

Jack Isenhart | SS/RHP | Des Moines Christian

Isenhart doesn't explode out of the blocks, but once he gets moving, he can really run, posting a 6.70-second 60.

He's another player whose tools continue to trend in the right direction. Up to 90 mph across the diamond, 85-86 on the mound and Team Iowa's best Visual Edge Score at 77.98, brushing right up against MLB Draft territory. He also did what matters most. He hit. The barrel found baseballs all weekend, highlighted by an in-game home run.

Tyler Honkomp | OF | Waukee Northwest

Some players win the workout, others win the games. Honkomp did both.

He posted a 6.53-second 60, jumped 29.4 inches, hit a 103 mph exit velocity and then followed it up with four extra-base hits, including two home runs, over three games. The metrics continue to validate what the production already says.

Christian Sawyer | RHP | Iowa City West

Sawyer left Kansas with the event's hardest fastball at 90.6 mph, but that wasn't the most interesting part.

Nearly seven feet of extension allows the fastball to get on hitters in a hurry, and the slider might be even better. With over 16 inches of sweep, it consistently disappeared late and generated uncomfortable swings. Pair that with loose actions and a projectable 6-foot-3 frame and it's easy to see why scouts kept wandering over when he pitched.

Minnesota

Joseph Crissinger | 1B/3B | Fairmont

There wasn't much debate about who won batting practice. Crissinger put on an absolute show.

The Fairmont slugger was launching baseballs over the center-field wall despite a stiff wind blowing left to right. Every round seemed louder than the last until he finished with the top exit velocity of the event at 107.3 mph. Then he carried it into games, homering to dead center on a 3-1 fastball before adding another extra-base hit later in the weekend.

There's still defensive refinement ahead, but bats with this kind of impact don't stay on the market very long.

Nolan Hansen | RHP | Buffalo

I'm not sure Nolan Hansen's delivery would make it into a pitching manual. I'm also not sure I'd change much.

The 6-foot-5 right-hander creates all kinds of deception with a crossfire, lower-slot delivery that right-handed hitters simply don't enjoy. Sure, there's mechanical cleanup available, but there's value in keeping some of the funk. Add in the frame and there's still plenty left to develop.

Jonas Harper | SS/RHP | Roseville

Harper showed why he's one of Minnesota's better two-way prospects, but the arm stole the show for me.

Working from a crossfire delivery, he reached 88.8 mph with a heavy fastball that played better than the radar gun suggested. There's room to make the delivery more efficient, and if he ever commits to pitching full-time, there may be another gear hiding in there.

Mat Matejka | OF | Dover-Eyota

Every event seems to end the same way: Matejka is somewhere near the top of the leaderboard.

Whether it's athletic testing or exit velocity, he continues to post premium numbers, and this weekend he backed them up with multiple extra-base hits. There simply aren't many uncommitted 2027s with this blend of strength, athleticism and offensive upside.

Nebraska

Andrew Tagge | OF | Omaha Westside

One of my favorite plays of the weekend never showed up in the box score. Tagge did plenty of measurable things well. He ran, threw, consistently barreled baseballs and picked up a hit.

Then he saved a run.

On a routine sacrifice fly, Tagge sold a glove-pump deke in center field that completely froze the runner, who never tagged and ultimately stayed put. That's baseball IQ. Those little winning plays matter just as much as a 60 time, and Tagge seems to have a knack for making them.

Max Teetor | RHP | Skutt Catholic

Teetor isn't going to overwhelm you with size at 5-foot-8. He doesn't need to. He creates nearly seven feet of extension, making an 86.7 mph fastball play with considerably more life. Combine that with a lower release height and consistent strike throwing, and he turned in two really solid innings against one of the better offenses at the event.

Jamison Saathoff | OF/1B | Skutt Catholic

For someone built like Saathoff, the first-step explosiveness stands out.

His 1.64-second 10-yard split led Team Nebraska, and that's the speed baseball players actually use. He also had one of the toughest breaks of the weekend when a towering home run was wiped away because play had to be stopped for a foul ball entering from another field. He shrugged it off and later drove a double the other way, showing the ability to impact baseballs to all fields.

Ty Simms | OF | Omaha Westview

The top uncommitted player in Nebraska's 2027 class looked the part all weekend.

The tools were there, as expected.

What impressed me most was how he controlled an at-bat. Simms rarely gave pitchers easy outs, laying off close pitches, spoiling tough ones and working himself into counts where he could do damage. Then, when he got his pitch, he didn't miss it.
