PBR OK's Top Moments in 2022: McCaskill's Walk-Off for 3A Title


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

As 2022 comes to a close and we move into 2023 we want to take a look back at the top moments from the entire year covered by Prep Baseball Report Oklahoma.  We aim to provide the most comprehensive coverage of high school baseball in the State from our events as well as covering as many high school games as possible.  2022 was a banner year in Oklahoma with multiple players and programs making big jumps, picking up big hits, strong performances on the mound, and some crazy walk-off wins.  Be sure to follow along in 2023 as we aim to grow our coverage and be the true one-stop shop for all things Oklahoma High School baseball.

Every program and player starts the season off with the goal of capturing the state title in their respective class.  On top of that every player dreams of being the guy to capture that big moment to help their team raise the trophy and on May 14th it was Dax McCaskill delivering the final blow for Washington with his walk-off homer to win the 3A State Championship in run-rule fashion 13-2.  Washington returns a large portion of its 2022 championship team and should be primed and ready to try and run it back for 2023.
