Brett Langan 1B / RHP / Bennington High School, NE / 2027Large-bodied first baseman with impact strength and top-end barrel power, posting an event-best 102.1 mph exit velocity. Still some rawness to the overall game, but the size and power projection are difficult to teach. |

Gavin Christensen 2B / 3B / Millard South, NE / 2027Rankings StateRank: 78 / POS: 3
Displayed a well-rounded skill set with one of the most consistent offensive rounds of the event, driving balls to both gaps. Shows easy, controlled infield actions and plays well on the move. Long-term profile fits best at second base, with potential at third if additional strength is added. |
|
Hunter Neukirch C / Lincoln Northeast High School, NE / 2026Projectable 6-foot, 165-pound frame with room to add strength. Shows a strong, accurate arm behind the plate. Maintained a steady approach in the box, barreling balls at a high rate with an 83 percent sweet-spot rate and exit velocities ranging from 88.1 to 92.4 mph. A name worth following this spring for programs still looking to add catching depth. |
