LHP Caden Wallace (Olathe East, 2026) has the look to be one of the most projectable southpaws in the Kansas class. At 6-foot-4, 180-pounds, Wallace featured a quick, effortless arm action that produced fastball velocities upwards of 83 mph with arm side run. Paired with that he tossed a curveball at 68-69 mph and a changeup at 73-76 mph. For good measure, Wallace also reached a 94.2 mph exit velocity at the plate during his round of batting practice.
