TEAM PREVIEW

Casey Allee Jr RHP / Stillwater, OK / 2028 Allee Jr. comes to Team OK following a dominant stretch on the mound throughout the spring that has continued into the summer months. Representing Stillwater, the 6'1", 170-pound right-hander features a strong mix that continues to trend upward. His fastball works into the upper 80s with command to both edges that has been difficult for opposing hitters to barrel. The high IVB and low HM has made it a valuable offering working up in the zone.. He pairs the heater with a consistently shaped overhand curve ball that he can land for strikes and get swing and miss late in counts as well as a changeup that gives him a weapon to attack LHH. As Allee continues to fill out his projectable frame, and visible athleticism on the bump and fielding his position, he gives Team Oklahoma a high-upside arm to watch closely at the Future Games.

Talon Arnold RHP / Calumet, OK / 2028 Arnold enters the mix for Team Oklahoma as an incredibly intriguing, high-ceiling prospect representing Calumet.

On the mound, the right-hander features a polished three-pitch arsenal, running his fastball into the upper 80s with life. He pairs the fastball with a slider and changeup that allow him to attack both RHH and LHH alike. We have seen big arm talent from Baker with positional velos north of 90 mph and versatility to compete across the diamond. A legitimate 2-way prospect at the next level, he will just pitch this week but offers upside throughout his game. Baker gives Team Oklahoma a toolsy, high-ceiling option with a skillset that is a must-follow throughout the week.

Easton Dobson OF/LHP / Piedmont, OK / 2028 Dobson joins Team Oklahoma with one of the highest ceilings and an advanced hit tool. Representing Piedmont, the 6'2", 178-pound LHH outfielder regularly showcases advanced feel in the box - consistently on time, disciplined in his direction, and has the ability to quickly make adjustments within at bat. Offensively, the wiry framed outfielder offers plenty of current production as well as upside and projection in the future. We have seen exit velos north of 100 mph with in-game production to match with arm strength in the outfield up to 91 mph. Dobson gives Team Oklahoma a projectable, consistent producer in the lineup and in the outfield.

Bryson Francis RHP / Owasso, OK / 2028 Francis joins the Team Oklahoma roster as an exceptionally projectable, high-ceiling right-handed pitcher from Owasso.

On the mound, his massive ceiling takes center stage; complete command of a mix that he can manipulate to attack both RHH and LHH alike and a fastball up to 90.

Standing at a long, projectable 6'3" and 173 pounds, the BK sophomore flashes high-end potential but not to be overshadowed by the current skillset and production. A switch-hitter with an advanced understanding of how to use his long levers to elevate the baseball, Hastings continues to develop more power to pair with his already advanced hit tool - we have seen exit velos north of 102 mph. His raw power and advanced bat speed (80.9 mph max) are matched by the athleticism we see throughout the game, as seen with the 6.81 60 time. Also an imposing presence on the mound, his fastball has touched 90.4 mph, paired with a high spin slider. Hastings brings an enormous ceiling to Team Oklahoma and is one of the region's premier must-follow prospects.
