LHP Kane Ast (Douglass, 2027) emerged as a name to follow in Kansas’ 2027 class. At 5-foot-10, 174-pounds, Ast showed plenty of upside on the mound in a frame with plenty of room to add size and strength. The lefty featured a fastball that jumped out of his hand and played with natural carry (avg. 17” of vertical break) at 80-82 mph, topping out at 82.7 mph on the day. With that he paired a sharp 65-67 mph curveball with depth and developing feel for the zone.
