Another standout from the Springfield area, OF/RHP Nicholas Long (Kickapoo, 2027) impressed on both sides of the ball at the Missouri State Games. A compact, well-built athlete at 5-foot-11, 206 pounds, Long showcased strength and intent at the plate, driving balls gap-to-gap with a powerful, relatively flat swing that peaked at 98.7 mph off the bat. During gameplay, Long hopped on the mound and fired two perfect innings, mixing a heavy sinking fastball that topped at 84 mph with a 68–70 mph curveball he landed for strikes. With two-way upside and advanced strength, Long is an intriguing follow in Missouri’s 2027 class as he continues to polish his game.
