Prep Baseball Report Oklahoma hosted the third annual OK Fall Top Prospect Games on Sunday, October 28th, at the beautiful remodeled Wendell Simmons Field on the campus of Central Oklahoma. The event showcased a sold out 77 player roster from the 2022-2019 grad classes. Each position player went through a pro-style workout and played in a scrimmage where pitchers threw live. 

This extremely talented event saw impressive numbers in every category, including nine arms that were 85+ mph, seven sub 7 60s, four 90+ exit velos, and three sub 2 sec pop times.

Today, we take a look at the 4 first baseman from the event. Though a few of the players here are talented two-way player, they will be covered here as first baseman only with pitching analysis already on their profiles.

A durable 6-foot, 190-pound frame with some strength. Offensively, the right-handed hitter bats from a wide and slightly front foot heavy set up with some rhythm in his hands. Uses a big hanging knee-knock leg kick and arm bar load before launching his hands on an uphill path to contact. In BP, shows a gap-to-gap approach with consistent lift, pop, and carry, almost all barrels, 85 mph exit velo. Runs a 7.39 60. Defensively, shows shows bouncy actions with active feet and some agility along with good hands at first base.

A durable 6-foot, 170-pound frame. Offensively, the right-handed hitter bats from a pigeon toed and slightly knock-kneed set-up with lots of wiggle in his hands. Uses a big, quick, and aggressive reverse toe-tap stride and slight hand pump load before launching his hands on a flat path to contact with a high finish. In BP, shows a gap-to-gap approach with more pop than his  79 mph exit velo would suggest, almost all barrels. Runs an 8.12 60.

In BP, shows a pull on the ground and opposite field in the air approach, best when in the opposite field gap, some barrels, 72 mph exit velo. Runs a 7.22 60.
