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

Jack Renze OF / RHP / St. Thomas Aquinas, KS / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 16 / POS: 4

Renze is one of the best overall athletes in the region and never hesitates to take advantage once he’s on base. His tools jump off the page with a 101 mph exit velocity and a 6.7 60-time — all while standing a lean 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, suggesting there’s plenty more to come. Renze really showcased his speed during the Central Super Sophomore Games, turning nearly every walk into a triple against some of the top pitchers and catchers in the region.
