RHP Nathan Young (Lawrence Free State, 2026) continues to show polish and projection on the mound, with clean mechanics and plenty more in the tank. The 6-foot-2, 192-pound right-hander worked in the low-80s during this look, topping at 84.8 mph with a fastball that played with carry through the zone. He mixed in a 67–68 mph sweeping curveball with depth and a mid-70s changeup that showed feel and fade. With a fluid operation, strike-throwing ability, and a frame that still has room to fill out, Young remains an intriguing uncommitted arm to follow in Kansas’ 2026 class.
