Tuesday’s event gave our staff an exciting first look at OF Ferris Dinkel (Lawrence Free State, 2027), who impressed across the board with a well-rounded toolset and upside in a lean 6-foot-2, 160-pound frame. Offensively, Dinkel used a long-levered right-handed swing to drive the ball with authority to the pull-side, recording a peak exit velocity of 95.8 mph and launching his furthest ball 377 feet. He also ran a 6.90 60-yard dash and showed arm strength from the outfield at 83 mph, rounding out a quality showing that positions him as an intriguing name to keep an eye on in Kansas’ 2027 class.
