OK Spring Preview: Broken Arrow Tigers

The Oklahoma high school baseball season kicks off on March 2nd, opening day for regular season action under Ossaa regulations. Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2020 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, leading into a countdown through the official PBR Oklahoma Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

Perennially, we’ve submitted a Preseason Questionnaire to high school head coaches across the entire state. Their responses have been flooding in and we’re using the detailed insight they’ve provided in our team-by-team preseason analysis.

If you would like your team covered, please have your head coach email us at [email protected]

OUTLOOK

The Tigers will have a senior heavy team with tons of experience including the playing in the state championship game last spring. They will have excelent team speed this year. Defensively, they will be advnaced again as we have become used to seeing out of Broken Arrow. If they are able to continue to develop depth on the mound, they could be very hard to beat this year.
