James
Quance

Another uncommitted junior that caught our eye was RHP James Quance (Shawnee Mission East, 2026). At 5-foot-11, 154-pounds, Quance’s fastball played at 84-85 mph with natural run (13.4”) from a whippy ¾ arm slot with more to come as he adds both strength and size. He also spun a swing and miss slider at 68-69 mph.
