Fri June 2, 2023
Today we take a look at some of the top performers from the two Rising Stars events held last week. With the combination of both the OKC Rising Stars and Tulsa Rising Stars IDs, we were able to identify some serious talent in the younger ranks. Players from the 2027 and 2028 classes went through a traditional pro-style workout with laser timed 60's, BP rounds with data captured by Trackman, positional evaluations with radar gun readings, and bullpens on the mound.
Invitations to represent Team Oklahoma at the Junior Future Games at the end of July will be sent out in the next two weeks as we look to put together a competitive and talented roster from players all across the state.
