INF/RHP William Pepper (Spring Hill, 2028) continues to trend upward as one of the fastest-rising prospects in Kansas’ 2028 class, and Tuesday’s look only strengthened that narrative. In the midst of a breakout summer, Pepper continues to add strength and polish to his game on both sides of the ball. He saw a jump in exit velocity during BP, peaking at 93.9 mph and averaging 88.3 mph per batted ball. Defensively, he showed arm strength across the diamond, reaching 86 mph on his firmest throw. On the mound, the soon-to-be sophomore pitched in the low-80s (T82.5 mph) and mixed in a 68–70 mph slider. With steady progress and tools that continue to trend upward, Pepper is a name to follow in Kansas’ 2028 class that will look to make a big impact next spring in his second year with the Broncos.
