Fall Player Spotlights: Owen Bailor


Scott Hood
OK/MO/KS/ARK Assistant Scouting Director

Prep Baseball Report Oklahoma is highlighted some of the top remaining uncommitted players in the 2023 class to a couple of the top 2025's.  Today we take a look at the two-way talent from Bixby Owen Bailor.  Bailor was a huge piece for Bixby last Spring on both sides of the ball making big jumps both on the mound and at the plate.  Bailor stands at an imposing 6-foot-5 and 220-pounds and has shown the ability to work the fastball up to 86 mph and feel for an improving low to mid 70's slider that has shown in the past to miss bats.  At the plate Bailor has shown the ability to drive the ball to all fields with strong leverage and had a strong knack for driving in runs.  The biggest change over the years has been Bailor's ability to transform his body making him a legit prospect to keep an eye on in the future.

Body: 6-4, 195-pounds. Mature and durable frame with present strength.

 Arm: LH.  INF - 81 mph.  High 3/4 arm slot with a loose arm action.

 Run: 7.74 runner in the 60. 
 Delivery: Short rocker style footwork around the rubber with a methodical pace and tempo.  Works to a mid height balance point with a quick leg lift.  Weight fully stacked onto the back leg and has a short sink into the backside and short push off the rubber.  Hands settle down around the waist with the hands breaking from the glove as the plant leg works forward.  Works from the middle of the rubber and strides directionally down the center of the mound with a shorter stride and into a firm plant leg.
 Arm Action: LH. 3/4 arm slot with a longer and loose arm action.

5/18/19

 

A 6-foot, 158-pound  frame with room to add size and strength. On the mound, the left-hander works from an average tempo delivery with rhythm and a moderate leg kick that he repeats well for his age. Arm action is long and fluid in the back before coming through a high-¾ slot with looseness. Fastball flashes some arm-side run at 68-70 mph, some strikes. Changeup shows consistent fade at 61-63 mph, some strikes.

 

5/18/19

 

A 6-foot, 158-pound left-handed hitting first baseman hits from a feet shoulder wide stance with some rhythm and hand movement, uses small negative movement to start swing, lacks separation with hands. Short stroke to the baseball, level plane, front foot lands straight, allowing spin through the front side. Lacks balance throughout, still strength to gain in young frame. Has feel with the bat, consistent line drives to middle of cage in BP, 72 mph exit velo. Runs a 8.50 60. Defensively, LH 1st baseman showed raw range and glove actions, good stretch and reach, still figuring out young frame. On throws, shows short arm stroke coming through at a low 3/4 slot with arm side accuracy at 62 mph around the bag on the run.
