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 2027

Cooper Vais RHP / SS / Arvada West, CO / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 1 / POS: 1 OverallRank: 286 / POS: 80

One of the most athletic players we saw all year, Cooper Vais stands out at the plate, in the field—whether at shortstop or in center—and on the mound. The Texas commit may have the most impressive overall tools package we saw in the ’27 class as a true two-way prospect. A 2025 Future Gamer for Team Colorado, he’s run as low as a 6.67 and translates that speed and athleticism seamlessly to game action. He showed elite baserunning instincts and covered a ton of ground in center field this summer for Elite Baseball.
