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 2028

Canyon Koonce OF / LHP / Brownsburg High School, IN / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 3 / POS: 1 OverallRank: 95 / POS: 24

Koonce stands atop our list of runners as one of the top players we saw all summer. The Indiana Bulls Black 2028 Center Fielder relies on his 6.5 speed and consistently drove balls into the gaps at the Super 15, backed by a smooth, sweet left-handed swing. With a 6-foot frame, we expect even more speed to emerge as he continues to develop over the next few years.

One of two doubles in a 3-4 game for @CanyonKoonce.

One of top players in the country with 6.5 speed and EV in to the mid 90’s. Koonce has some of the more impressive tools we have seen this summer. @PrepBaseballKC //… pic.twitter.com/7TX4uBzHlf
