CLASS OF 2027

One of the biggest winners from this past spring, LHP/1B Dylan Eikenbary (Piper, 2027) played a key role in leading his team to their first-ever 5A state tournament appearance—and he continued to impress with a strong showing at Tuesday’s Top Prospect Games. A productive two-way player with a 92 mph exit velocity, Eikenbary’s upside on the mound is what sets him apart. The 5-foot-10, 173-pound left-hander made quick work of hitters in gameplay, attacking with a fastball that sat in the low-to-mid 80s, topping at 85.5 mph. He paired it with a true swing-and-miss slider at 72–75 mph, spinning it at 2,700+ RPM with confidence to both sides of the plate. A proven competitor who has consistently performed in front of our staff across multiple looks this spring and summer, Eikenbary continues to solidify himself as a high-follow name in Kansas’ 2027 class.
