OK Summer Open: Outfielders Edition


Scott Hood
OK/MO/KS Assistant Scouting Director

Prep Baseball Report Oklahoma hosted the OK Summer Open event at the University of Central Oklahoma on July 13th.  The event was comprised of players all across the state and from players coming from the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 classes.  There were some players that opened some eyes with their performances from this event and today we take a look at the 21 outfielders that attended and break down their player reports.  We take an in depth dive into their body profiles, swing mechanics, arm slots, and defensive actions.

There were a couple of players that stood out in the laser timed 60's with Jesse Tisdell leading the way at a blazing 6.47 seconds.  Jackson Lundquist posted an impressive time of his own at 6.57 seconds in the 2023 class with Blevin Brewer coming in at 6.72 and Brayson Carter posting a very impressive 6.79 from the 2025 class.

Tisdell also lit up the radar gun from the outfield posting an 87 mph reading.  Drake Jones was right behind him at 85 mph and Hunter Branch recording an 83 mph.  Gage Geiger put up an impressive 81 mph reading from the 2024 class.

Tisdell and Jones posted the top exit velos from the tee at the event both at an eye popping 95 mph.  Dax McCaskill posted an eye popping reading of 92 mph from the 2024 class as well.  Jones upped his exit velocity during the BP session off the Trackman unit at 96 with Tisdell coming in at 94 mph.  McCaskill jumped his exit velo in BP to 94 mph with Jackson Lundquist posting a 90 mph reading.
