PBR Oklahoma strives to be the most comprehensive source of player information across the state. Prep Baseball Report is the No. 1 resource for high school baseball in each state we cover through our variety of events, boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, daily coverage, and multimedia platforms. Our multimedia platforms and events work in tandem, ultimately creating the most powerful source of high school baseball promotion in each state.  

As we close the door on 2021 and head into 2022, PBR OK takes a look at the top 10 most viewed profiles of the year. We are able to drill down into the data and track the number of reads thanks to Google Analytics. As we usually see, the list is dominated by some of the top performers and players who have made commitments this year. 

The 2024 catcher checks in at number 5 on the most viewed profiles list after a year of posting good numbers from the behind the plate at multiple events.  Gifford has strong catch and throw abilities and has shown some physicality with the bat with good bat speed and advanced hand strength at contact.  Look for Gifford to continue to make strides as he gets more competition and at bats in the future.
