As we look back on the 2025 summer tournament circuit here in Kansas City, we’ll be breaking down the top players by tool from each class — based on evaluations from our scouting team at Homefield and Creekside. Follow along as we take a deep dive into these players and highlight the summers they put together. Each list will feature our top five from the class, presented in no particular order.

Class of 2028 Top Runners

Mason Biernacki, IN

Biernacki was a spark plug at the top of the lineup for the Indiana Bulls Black 2028s this summer, helping them earn co-champion honors at the Midwest Premier Super 15. A quick-twitch athlete, Biernacki lit up the tools sheet with a 100 mph exit velocity, 92 mph outfield velocity, and a 6.61 60-yard dash — numbers that firmly place him in our top five runners in the 2028 class.

Canyon Koonce, IN

Koonce joins his Indiana Bulls teammate atop our list of runners as one of the top players we saw all summer. He relies on his 6.5 speed and consistently drove balls into the gaps at the Super 15, backed by a smooth, sweet left-handed swing. With a 6-foot frame, we expect even more speed to emerge as he continues to develop over the next few years.

Jack Renze, KS

Renze is one of the best overall athletes in the region and never hesitates to take advantage once he’s on base. His tools jump off the page with a 101 mph exit velocity and a 6.7 60-time — all while standing a lean 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, suggesting there’s plenty more to come. Renze really showcased his speed during the Central Super Sophomore Games, turning nearly every walk into a triple against some of the top pitchers and catchers in the region.

Carson Bass, MO

Speed is the epitome of Bass’s game, and it shows at the plate, on the basepaths, and in the outfield. He posted the second fastest 60 time at the Central Super Sophomore Games with a 6.65. A regular at Homefield and Creekside, Bass not only used his speed to steal infield hits but also to be aggressively productive on the bases. Defensively, he was a premier outfielder, tracking down balls in the gaps with ease and taking away what are typically extra-base hits.

Krue Patrick, MO

Patrick was one of the biggest eye-openers this past year — not just because of his speed, but because of his rare blend of hit, run, and power tools. He ran the fastest 60 at the Central Super Sophomore Games and uses his speed and athleticism all over the field defensively. Patrick is actually an underrated runner; he finds himself on second and third so often due to his power that he doesn’t get as many chances to showcase his basestealing ability.
