Fall Player Spotlights: Zeb Henry


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 switch-hitting middle infielder Zeb Henry.  The Bartlesville infielder always seems to show out each time we see him thanks to his "gamer" type abilities.  Henry has shown the ability to control the barrel from both sides of the plate as well as look comfortable in the box against some of the top arms in the state.  Defensively he shows smooth actions and strong range as well as showing soft hands and strong ability to play underneath the ball.  With his switch-hitting abilities and overall athleticism (6.85 60), Henry has the type of top of the order skills that can remain in the middle of the diamond at the next level becoming an interesting prospect to keep an eye on.
