9/14/25
INF/RHP Gabriel Escobar (Shawnee Heights, 2028) continues to establish himself as one of the top prospects in Kansas’ 2028 class, showcasing impact tools across the board in Sunday's look. He flashed elite athleticism with the event’s best 60-yard dash time at 6.57 seconds and a 3.66-second 30-yard split, pairing that quickness with an 88 mph infield velocity. That speed translated to game action, where he consistently pressured defenses on the basepaths. On the mound, Escobar worked in the mid-80s, topping at 85.9 mph, and attacked hitters with a sharp 76–77 mph slider and a well-controlled 76–77 mph changeup. A quick-twitch, upside athlete with room for more, Escobar will be a name to watch this spring.

INF/RHP Gabriel Escobar (Shawnee Heights, 2028) made a strong impression in his Prep Baseball debut, establishing himself as a freshman to watch in the coming years. A quick-twitch athlete, Escobar set the event’s fastest 30-yard dash time at 3.80, showcasing his elite speed. That athleticism translated seamlessly to the infield, where he displayed fluid footwork, natural range, and a quick arm, firing an 85 mph strike across the diamond. On the mound, Escobar worked in the low-80s, mixing in a curveball/slider combo to keep hitters off balance.
