One of the top overall athletes in Kansas’ 2028 class, OF/LHP Landen Hays (Olathe Northwest) delivered a well-rounded and impactful showing in this look. A twitchy, high-motor multi-sport standout, Hays consistently found the barrel from the left side during BP, spraying line drives to all fields with a peak exit velocity of 93.1 mph and a swing that’s already proven capable against quality arms. His athleticism and energy translate seamlessly to the outfield, where he moves with ease and flashed a strong 89 mph arm. With a fast-twitch profile and advanced feel for the game, Hays continues to establish himself as one of the premier names in Kansas’ 2028 class.
