A premier arm in the Kansas class, RHP/INF Max Hamilton (Olathe West, 2026) had another impressive showing at this event. On the mound, Hamilton effortlessly ran his fastball up to 89 mph with a considerable amount of late life through the zone from a low ¾ arm slot. Paired with that was a slider at 73-74 mph and a tumbling changeup with depth at 75-77 mph. Although he is known more for his work on the mound, the junior also put together a strong round of batting practice, sending his best ball 88.1 mph off the bat while running a 6.97 60 for good measure as well.
