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 Power Tool Class of 2027

Jacob Stehley 1B / LHP / Wichita Collegiate, KS / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 25 / POS: 2

Stehley is one of the top all-around bats in the 2027 class and has the power to be a major RBI threat. The Wichita State commit was not only one of the best hitters we saw this year, but also consistently drove the ball all over the park, earning him a spot among our top power performers. He posted 100 mph exit velocities at the 2025 Futures Games and reached the 104 mph range a few times during his time in Kansas City.

Stehley’s rhythm and timing at the plate allow his power to play against some of the best arms in the region. This summer with Prime 27:17, he finished with a 1.606 OPS, 18 doubles, five home runs, and 45 RBIs. He’s a player we’ll continue to monitor closely as he adds strength and continues to develop.
