In a desire to best cover high school baseball in the state, PBR Oklahoma will be on the road this winter stopping by scrimmages and gathering information from teams around the state, highlighting top performers and difference makers for each school. Today, PBR Oklahoma will take an in-deep look at the 2018 Collinsville Cardinals.

Team: Rattan
Nickname: Rams
Class: A
Head Coach: Michael Clay
Years as head coach at school: 3
2017 Overall Record: 16-13

PLAYERS TO WATCH
Cal Birchfield SS/RHP, 2021
Jody Caston 3B/RHP, 2021
Toche Taylor 1B/CF, 2018
Rece Bankston SS/RHP, 2019
Brawley Dempsey C RHP, 2019
Ryan Makerney LHP, 2019

SEASON OUTLOOK 

The 2018 Rattan Rams with have a very similar look to last season as they return all eight starters to go along with four pitchers who tossed over 15 innings. Joining the group will be freshmen infielders and pitchers Cal Birchfield and Jody Caston, both of which could make an immediate impact. 

Offensively, the Rams will be lead this spring by senior Toche Taylor, and juniors Rece Bankston and Brawley Dempsey. On the mound, Dempsey and Bankston will again be called on to put up big numbers. They will be joined on the staff by left-hander Ryan Makerney who will likely anchor the rotation. Defensively, Bankston will be a standout at SS.
