Vander brings a strong combination of size, athleticism and two-way ability to the 2027 class. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound left-handed hitter was a key piece of Blair Oaks’ Class 3 state championship team, hitting .458 with five home runs and 33 RBI while also going 6-0 with a 2.42 ERA on the mound. At the Missouri State Games, Halford ran a 6.83 60-yard dash and posted a 91 mph outfield velocity, further showcasing the athleticism and arm strength that make him an important addition to the rankings.

Tyler Rasch SS/RHP / St. Louis University, MO / 2027

Barek Hoffman OF / Webb City, MO / 2027

Hoffman brings an intriguing combination of speed, athleticism and power to the 2027 rankings. The Webb City outfielder ran a standout 6.58 60-yard dash at the Heart of America Summer ID while reaching 90 mph from the outfield and posting a 102 mph exit velocity. A strong defensive outfielder, Hoffman’s athleticism and range give him the ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball.

Cole Hass RHP / St. Joseph Central, MO / 2027

At 6-foot-7, 205 pounds, Hass offers plenty of projection as a right-handed pitcher in the 2027 class. Hass has shown steady velocity gains this summer, topping out at 88 mph at the Kansas Summer ID after sitting in the mid-to-upper 80s at the MOKAN Summer ID. His combination of size and developing stuff gives him plenty of upside on the mound and makes him a good addition to the final rankings.
