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 Hit Tool Class of 2028

Keelan Zumwalt OF / LHP / Summit Christian, MO / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 1 / POS: 1 OverallRank: 4 / POS: 2

It’s very unusual to see a player of this size handle the bat the way Keelan Zumwalt does. Not only does he possess some of the biggest power potential in the country, but he’s also one of the more mature hitters we saw this year. He shows excellent patience and decision-making at the plate and isn’t afraid to take singles the other way, yet when he gets into leverage counts, he looks to do damage.

This fall with Building Champions Cisneros, Zumwalt hit .556 with a .705 OBP and a 1.981 OPS, adding two doubles, one triple, three home runs, 13 RBIs, and nine walks in eight games.
