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 2028

Cullen Scott 3B / RHP / Melissa, TX / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 1 / POS: 1 OverallRank: 19 / POS: 2

Leading off our top Power Tool list for the 2028 class in 2025 is the No. 1 ranked player in Texas, Cullen Scott. Scott significantly raised his stock with an outstanding freshman season at Melissa High School and a dominant summer with Dallas Tigers West Beaven. He not only displays big power in the batter’s box, but also raised eyebrows on the mound at the NPI at LakePoint, where he topped out at 94.6 mph.

We got a look at Scott during the Midwest Premier Super 16, where he put on a show by launching two massive home runs for a combined distance of 876 feet. He showed the ability to do consistent damage throughout the week against older competition, which earned him a spot in our Top 5 Power Tool rankings for the 2028 class.
