Uncommitted. Patterson hit out of the leadoff spot for Spects National for most of the weekend and gave them good production. His natural bat speed and quick hands brings consistently high exit velocities and barrels. His hit tool paired with a great athletic ability and speed makes him one of the more exciting players in the 2026 class. His 5’8” 155 lb frame might not jump off the page, but Patterson is still able to get a lot of power out of his swings without completely selling out. He left the yard effortlessly in one of his leadoff at bats this weekend, flashing his raw power. Plenty of tools to be excited about in this young player. High follow.
Another strong, all-around two-way showing came from OF/LHP Micah Patterson (Lee’s Summit, 2026). Patterson set the tone for the day by posting an event-leading 6.97 60 time as well as firing a 89 mph bullet from the outfield to get the day started. At the plate, the 5-foot-8, 160-pound swung a loud left-handed barrel with an average exit velocity of 90.3, reaching 98.1 mph at his peak. Afterwards, Patterson hopped on the mound, throwing his fastball at 86-87, T88 with a curveball at 72-74 mph (T2642 RPM) to pair.
