Oklahoma Class of 2020: Rankings Update

The inaugural rankings for Oklahoma’s Class of 2020 came out last spring and it is definitely time for an update. Today, we will look at the top three prospects, the risers, and the newcomers. The list has also expanded from 45 to 100 as PBR OK continues to grow our database of young players.  

The Top Prospects

Maintaining the top spot in the Oklahoma rankings, and currently the No.1 in the PBR Overall rankings as well, is RHP/OF Nate Wohlgemuth (Owasso HS, OK). Wohlgemuth is barrel chested and thick legged with strength throughout his 5-foot-11, 200-pound frame. He has an up-tempo, athletic delivery on the mound with a fast arm and quality leg drive. His fastball sits 89-93 mph with occasional run, touching 95. He possesses a plus changeup with fade and sink at 80-82 that he throws with confidence in any count. His breaking ball has slurvy shape with depth at 72-75. Wohlgemuth stands out not only for his velo, but his high-end pitchability as well, which he showed off at the PBR Future Games, retiring all six batters he faced, five by strikeout. Offensively, his athleticism shows through as well with a 91 mph exit velo and a 6.72 laser timed 60. Defensively, he shows athletic actions and excellent arm strength, throwing 95 mph from the outfield.

Moving up to the No. 2 slot is LHP Dax Fulton (Mustang HS, OK). Fulton has a 6-foot-6, 205-pound frame that is seemingly still growing. The left hander has rose in the rankings not because others have fallen off, but because his pitchability and velocity continue to improve at a dramatic rate. Most recently, at the PBR Future Games, Fulton showed off an impressive three-pitch mix, all thrown to both sides of the plate. The fastball sat 84-87 mph with downhill tilt and occasional cut. The curveball was talked about as one of the best pitches shown on the weekend at 73-79 mph with 1/7 shape and late depth. The changeup has late fade and sink at 73-75 mph. Don’t be surprised to see Fulton playing some 1B this spring as well, as he is athletic around the bag and has a knack for finding barrel.  

Up to the No. 3 spot is recent Oklahoma State recruit RHP Trevor Martin (Asher HS, OK). Martin, also physically impressive, stands 6-foot-4, 195 pounds with strength throughout. The small school standout showed off a fastball that ranged 85-89 with downhill tilt and and some arm-side run at the OK Future Games Trials just recently. He also shows a slider ranging 72-76 with 11/5-10/4 shape with late depth and tight spin. The changeup is effective as well at 76-79 with arm-side run. The athletic right-hander looks to have more in the tank, and the velo could easily continue to rise.

The Risers

Over the spring and summer, some of the original 45 players ranked have shown impressive growth and shot up the rankings. Below are a few of them.

The biggest riser from the last edition is OF/LHP Jaxson Crull (Bixby HS, OK) who bumped up 19 spots. The quick-twitch athlete has shown improvement in every measurable category with the addition of some size and strength, highlighted by a 4.27 home-to-first time and an 85 mph exit velo.

Another considerable riser is C/SS Colby Entwistle (Edmond North HS, OK) who jumped 14 spots. The versatile athlete has added some strength and improved his ability to barrel the ball.

The closer to the top, the harder it is to make big jumps, but LHP/OF Chris Spry (Jenks HS, OK) moved up seven spots after facing 12 batters and striking out 12 of them at PBR events, featuring a curveball with late depth.

The Newcomers

In the months since the inaugural rankings, many more impressive players have popped up.

RHP/3B Jon Bay (Shattuck HS OK) A physical athlete that has big pop from the right side and plenty of arm to stick on the left side of the infield.

Bursting on the scene this summer was PBR Future Games participant and recent Arkansas commit RHP Jaxon Wiggins (Roland HS OK). He has an impressive 6-foot-4, 185-pound, loose and athletic frame with an arm that works with easy electricity. Wiggins will have a bright future as he leans his body and becomes more of a pitcher.

Impressive all summer, SS/RHP Jack Hammond (Owasso HS, OK) most recently showed off his tools at the OK Future Games Trials and his athleticism and strength were advanced as he hit a few balls out in BP including one over the left field net at Oklahoma State.  

With a lean frame with some developing strength, SS/C Braedyn Sommer (Stillwater HS, OK) is a switching-hitting prospect as an infielder and as a catcher, a position he just started playing.
