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 Run Tool Class of 2026

Dele Odulate OF / OF / Lincoln East, NE / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 20 / POS: 5

Odulate was one of the most underrated players in the ’26 class that we saw this summer. His athletic tools stand out, but the way he plays the game is just as impressive. He’s a true 6.42 runner and an extremely aggressive mover out of the batter’s box and on the bases. In the outfield, he’s a true ball hawk who’s always looking to take hits away. During the KC Slugfest, he posted six extra-base hits and three home runs, earning his spot on LJ’s Lineup and helping Carpet Land Rugs capture the Slugfest championship.
