QUICK HITS

PITCHERS

+ RHP Cooper Flowers (Plainview, 2026) offered pitchability throughout our look at him on 1/20. The Plainview product touched 83.5 showing good ride on the pitch with a max IVB of 17.7”. Further, he was able to mix his secondary pitches with the ability to land them in the zone. The slider flashed good depth and registered 2300+ RPMs. His changeup, fading armside, tunneled well with his fastball working at or just below the knee. The projectable prospect, with a 6’3” and 175 pound frame, is an exciting follow as he further fills out and continues his development.

   

+ LHP Dean Radle (Edmond North, 2028) showcased some of the more advanced metrics throughout the entire event in OKC. The southpaw worked his fastball up to 79.4 mph, but carried 2470+ RPMs which could forecast future success when converting to Bauer Units. As his velo continues to climb, there is greater probability that the pitch will continue to play up with great carry. Radle also mixed in a slider and changeup, respectively. The slider had a max of 16.2” of Horizontal Movement with the changeup working in the low 70s. The Edmond North product should be an exciting player to follow into the spring and onto the summer circuit as the easy mover showed plenty to be excited about moving forward.

   

+ RHP Owen Swift (Deer Creek, 2028) is a long limbed projectable right hander that flashed signs of an exciting foundation at our OKC Preseason ID event. The 6’3” and 161 pound prospect utilized a three-pitch mix with good feel for both his curveball and changeup. The fastball worked into the upper 70s with good ride in a max of 17.2” of IVB. The curveball worked 65-68 and is a tough change of pace for hitters with ability to land it just below the zone. However, his changeup could become a difference maker, similar in release to his fastball but carried 17.1” of max Horizontal Movement. The young Deer Creek prospect showed exciting projectability while still utilizing a strong current mix.

HITTERS

+ 1B Easton Welch (Byng, 2027) put together a loud, very impressive round of BP. He had both the highest max and average exit velocities of 99.2 mph and 88.3 mph respectively. A physical first baseman standing at 6’1” and 261 pounds, he flashed big bat speed numbers topping out at 85.9 mph and comfort elevating balls - specifically pull side. Defensively, he was sure handed and worked well around the bag. The Byng product will be an exciting follow into the spring with strong, middle of the order, pop.

   

+ OF Collin Yost (Owasso, 2025) showed speed and discipline throughout the event in OKC. Yost started his day off registering a tie for the top 30 yard dash time and highlighting his quickness and athleticism. Offensively, the mature approach was on display working gap to gap and topping out with a 91.7 mph Exit Velocity. Defensively, the left/left outfielder was up to 86 mph with comfort attacking balls downhill and showing a strong, accurate arm. In our first look at Yost, he impressed in both his motor and maturity and will be an exciting player to follow into the spring.

   

+ OF/RHP Jack Brady (Washington, 2028) showed athleticism and explosiveness throughout the event on 1/20 in OKC. He ranked amongst the leaders in both the 30 yard dash and in his jump height as measured via Vald. Offensively, he peaked at 90.6 mph Exit Velocity and above average bat speed at 73.5 mph. More impressively, the easy bat speed was achieved with a tight turn and efficient stroke rather than a swing with excessive length and takes time to “get up to top speed” and a Rotational Acceleration of 17.4g. Defensively, the athletic right handed hitter was up to 83 mph from the OF. A strong athlete with a projectable frame at 6’1” and 162 pounds, Brady will be a fun follow for years to come from a loaded Washington squad.

   

+ OF Wyatt McConnell (Elk City, 2025) was among the leaders offensively with a powerful right handed stroke that showed extra base hit power. Peaking at 95.2 mph, his Exit Velocity ranked third at the event and primarily worked through the middle of the field. Packed into a strong, 5’9” and 184 pound frame, McConnell showed a tight efficient path that produced middle of the order power potential. Defensively, the right handed hitting outfielder showed the ability to attack balls and deliver the ball accurately consistently missing down. Another talented Elk City squad to come this spring, McConnell will be a part of another deep run.

  

+ C/INF Jackson Echalk (Heritage Hall, 2028) showed plenty of current substance mixed with future upside throughout our look on 1/20. The Heritage Hall product was consistently amongst the leaders with a 90.9 mph Exit Velocity from a very athletic and aggressive stroke and comfort catching the ball out front. Defensively, Echalk showed versatility at both catcher and on the infield highlighted with his athleticism. Behind the plate, he was up to 79 mph and as low as a 2.06 pop time. An athletic frame, standing at 6’0” and 165 pounds, Echalk will be an exciting prospect to follow over the course of his career with plenty of upside and projectability.

   

+ INF Parker Allen (Edmond North, 2028) showed to be a well-rounded prospect while still leaving plenty of room for projectability into the future. The right handed hitting infielder showed a short, compact stroke while spraying line drives throughout his round of BP and peaked with a 90.4 mph Exit Velocity. Amongst the leaders in all of the Blast metrics, Allen registers a 73.6 mph bat speed, 18.9g Rotational Acceleration, 75% average On Plane Efficiency. Defensively, the sure handed infielder was 80 mph across the infield. The Edmond North product put together an impressive all around workout and will be an exciting prospect over the course of his career.

  

+ C/INF Andrick Golden (Heritage Hall, 2027) showed middle of the order power from the catching position. The physical backstop consistently showed comfort in elevating balls poolside all around the yard and peaked with a 90.7 mph Exit Velocity. Further, he flashed big bat speed peaking at 80.2 mph. Golden registered a pop time as low as 2.04 while also showing the ability to work the bag at first base while flashing athleticism from his 5’11” and 240 pound frame. The Heritage Hall product saw growth throughout his workout as his development continues to be apparent.

   

+ INF Ethan Dobbs (Homeschool, 2026) showed strength and athleticism from a 6’0” and 160 pound frame. Offensively, he put together an impressive round of BP with loud and consistent contact. Topping out at 92.7 mph Exit Velocity, Dobbs also registered one of the higher average EVs in the event at 84.1 mph with comfort working to the oppo gap in right center. The infielder was 81 across the infield with comfort receiving the baseball out front. A winter of development was apparent as Dobbs put together a well rounded day in OKC.

TWO-WAYS

+ INF/RHP Owen Andrews (Washington, 2026) put together arguably the loudest and most impressive workout of the OKC PID. The right handed hitting infielder peppered line drives throughout his BP round and showed the athleticism that also saw him tied for the top 30 yard dash time on the day. Defensively, the infielder was 82 across the infield with quiet feet, soft hands receiving the baseball out front, and comfort playing with pace. Despite an impressive showing as a positon player, Andrews may have saved his best for last when he jumped on the mound for his bullpen. The Washington product was up to 87.8 mph with his fastball and a max of 19.7” IVB. The secondary pitches were equally as impressive with two distinctively different breaking pitches - both firm in their offering. The curveball was 78-79 with a max spin of 2270+ RPMs and more vertical with its shape. The slider, tunneled with his fastball, worked 77-78 mph and 2210+ RPMs. The last piece of the four pitch mix was the changeup, maxing at 16.8” Horizontal Movement, and working between 80-82 mph. Our first look at Andrews, he will be an exciting prospect this spring and into the summer circuit.

  

+ OF/RHP Hudson Able (Oklahoma Christian School, 2026) showed potential two-way capability from a long projectable 6’4” and 198 pound frame. He showed big bat speed putting his long levers to work peaking at 81.6 mph and 24.8g Rotational Acceleration. The pre-contact metrics brought big exit velocities to fruition as he was up to 95.9 mph but more impressively 88.3 mph average exit velocity on the day. Defensively, the Oklahoma Christian School product was 81 mph showing an accurate throwing arm. On the mound, the long limbed right hander worked in the low 80s while also mixing in the slider and changeup that he was able to land in the zone. Sure to be a big part of Oklahoma Christian School this spring, Able will be an exciting prospect offering strong upside.

   

+ INF/RHP Bryson Deaver (Mustang, 2027) put together one of the more well rounded days of our event on the 20th of January. The right handed hitting infielder showed a simple, gap to gap approach, and was up to an 87.8 mph Exit Velocity and in the zone for an extended period as marked by his 81.9% average On Plane Efficiency. Arguably the most impressive part of his day was defensively, as the Mustang product showed advanced footwork with both quickness and direction through his target along with a feel for receiving the baseball out front. On the mound, Deaver worked into the upper 70s with carry at 23.7” max IVB. He also mixed in a curveball and changeup displaying command of both and the ability to land them in the zone. The sure handed infielder offered plenty to be excited in an exciting follow tracking his continued development.

+ RHP/INF Trypp Lack (Kingfisher, 2027) showed exciting athleticism from a projectable frame at 6’2” and 186 pounds. The long limbed two-way prospect was up to a 93.1 mph Exit Velocity with a 76.4 mph Bat Speed. Most impressive, he registered a 24.6g Rotational Acceleration highlighting his ability to produce easy pop from the right side. On the mound, Lack’s fastball worked into the upper 70s while also mixing in a curveball and changeup. The still developing RHP registered above average spin with his fastball, a potential forecast for things to come in an exciting and projectable athlete. The Kingfisher native offers versatility and exciting upside as we look forward to following his career’s development.
