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 week will feature our top five players based on each tool from the class, presented in no particular order.

Top Fastball Class of 2028

Brooks Robinson RHP / 1B / Greene County Tech, AR / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 2 / POS: 2 OverallRank: 279 / POS: 68

Brooks Robinson was impressive in his outing at the Central Super Sophomore Games at Homefield, where he showcased a fastball that topped out at 89.4 MPH and had real life to it. Robinson is a 6-foot-3, 186-pound athletic right-hander who ranks among the top players in Arkansas and has received some national love in the rankings as well.

We love the size he has, and we believe that as he matures and continues to grow, his arsenal will only become more polished. The thing we love about his fastball is that it jumps out of his hand with an easy, sinked-up delivery. This will play well moving forward, as he will be able to reach even higher velocity while maintaining control, making things extremely tough on hitters.

Really good look at the AR #1 @BrooksKRobinson.

Up to 89 and showcased a tight SL and a CH that he was landing for strikes through 3 Innings. @PrepBaseballKC // @ShooterHunt #CentralSSG pic.twitter.com/RqwoiERU2g
