Brumbaugh

Prep Baseball All-American Game: Some of the loudest two-ways tools in the entire class, and maybe of the loudest tools overall. Brumbaugh, who’s been up to 96 with a wipeout slider this summer and fall was just hitting and defense this week, but that’s where the tools get freaky. Elite twitch with top-of-the-class hand and bat speed that’s backed by some of the best rotational acceleration that we’ve recorded in recent years. You add in the present barrel feel and there’s immense power projection for the Stillwater HS product. Athletic actions and soft hands on the left side of the infield with double-plus arm strength (96 INF) that gets easy carry across the diamond will allow the uncommitted SS/RHP to stick in the dirt. A true toolshed athlete who’s also an above-average runner as well.

A two-way follow in Oklahoma’s incoming sophomore class, Brumbaugh was a top performer from this past weekend’s event. He toed the rubber on Friday morning and punched out seven batters through four scoreless innings, touching 85 mph with his fastball from a live arm. His athleticism at the plate is obvious and so is his knack for hitting, driving in three runs in the same game that he excelled on the mound. Brumbaugh is one of five 2025 prospects currently on Team Oklahoma’s Future Games roster.
