As the Spring comes to a close, Prep Baseball Oklahoma takes an updated look at the 2027 rankings.  We were able to witness some monster Junior campaigns with many players continuing to develop physically and making bigger impacts on the Varsity level.  These rankings are compiled in multiple ways, utilizing data collected from our events, and our staff’s scouting throughout the spring and tournament seasons. Tools and projection do matter in the rankings but performance on the field is still highly valued. Today, we take a closer look at various members of the 2027 class with a deeper dive into both newcomers and risers on our list.

RANKINGS SPOTLIGHTS

Elijah Parkhurst SS / 2B / Edmond Santa Fe, OK / 2027 The OU commit has shown the ability to impact games at a high level, consistently showcasing an advanced approach to all parts of the yard. The offensive move is athletic, efficient, and he has made in-at bat adjustments further showcasing advanced feel and maturity. Still only 16 years and 10 months, Parkhurst has continued to rise as he fills out his 6’2” frame adding more strength and will be a name to watch next summer with the MLB draft. The LHH infielder moves into our top 5 with plenty of room to still grow.

Drake Pace 3B / SS / Yukon, OK / 2027 Infielder Drake Pace is one of the top uncommitted prospects in the state coming off a monster spring for Yukon. A big part of their state semifinal finish, he logged nearly as many XBHs as singles in his Junior campaign. He has shown versatility in the ability to play all three spots around the infield, but the approach and discipline to stay through the oppo gap has made him a must-see prospect for schools at the next level. He delivered barrel after barrel from the middle of the Miller lineup and while the present production is exciting enough, Pace’s frame points to projection as he fills out and is just scratching the surface. He moves into our Top 10 as he continues to produce on the field.

Mason Phillips SS / RHP / Deer Creek, OK / 2027 Infielder Mason Phillips was a huge part of the 2026 state tournament appearance for the Deer Creek Antlers as he impacted games at both shortstop and in the middle of the lineup. He did a little bit of everything in our opportunities to see him - showed the ability to execute in a team-centered offense, drove the ball for XBHs, and sure-handed defense while also making the web gem type play when given the opportunity. His work away from the yard is evident as he is impacting baseballs and adding strength with his body continuing to change. Phillips has shown a premium skillset as he can stick at shortstop and work in the middle of the lineup that schools at the next level would love to welcome next fall.

Landon Rosser C / 3B / North Rock Creek, OK / 2027 Rosser continues to rise in our ranks with one of the highest ceilings in the entire class. The LHH catcher has long levers, feel for working through the middle of the yard, and comfort elevating and backspinning balls to the pull side. A staple near the top of the North Rock Creek lineup, Rosser consistently punished mistakes over the white as part of a talented Cougar lineup. At 6’3” and 175 pounds, he still has room to fill out his frame and the upside is massive. He approaches 80 mph from a crouch and the ability to defend behind the dish, manage a staff, and produce from the middle of the lineup will make him a hot commodity with schools at the next level on the recruiting trail.

Brayden Floyd 3B / SS / Claremore, OK / 2027 Floyd is coming off a huge year for the Zebras where he manned the hot corner and churned out XBHs from the middle of the order. Claremore made another state tournament appearance in 2026 and Floyd’s production was a big part of that run. He has showcased massive tools - an EV of 105 mph, upper 80s across the diamond, and a sub 7 60 with them all showing up on the field this spring. He impacted the baseball at a high level with 29 XBHs and 17 singles as part of a 64 RBI season. Floyd’s ability to consistently barrels balls from the middle of the order will make him a valuable addition to a lineup at the next level next fall.

Dagan Grizzle RHP / 1B / Sallisaw, OK / 2027 Grizzle continues to develop at a steady clip with no end in sight. A strong presence on the bump, Grizzle has a rare feel for the ability to pitch with a power mix at an imposing 6’5” and 260 pounds. The fastball continues to work into the low 90s, he has shown comfort for both a cutter and breaking ball that gives him the ability to attack both RHH and LHH alike. Grizzle continues to rise in our ranks in our latest installment with room to continue his steady development and will be a must-see prospect this summer.

Warner Nield RHP / OF / Oklahoma Christian School, OK / 2027 RHP Warner Nield is coming off a strong 2026 for OCS and a state tournament appearance as the Saints #1. Nield’s fastball worked into the upper 80s with the ability to command to both edges but the difference maker is the feel and ability to manipulate his secondary offerings. The changeup and slider each tunnel with the fastball and can produce swing and miss at a high clip. Further, the upside is not limited to the visible, physical tools on the diamond with competitiveness and room to further add mass. Nield debuts in our ranks and will be a prospect schools should see early this summer.

Pryce McClure 3B / RHP / Piedmont, OK / 2027 McClure is coming off one of the more impressive 2026 seasons in the state. The mid to upper 80s right hander showcases his athleticism on the mound that comes from playing shortstop when he isn’t toeing the slab. He showcased a true breaking ball, something that we rarely see in today’s prep game, as well as the ability to manipulate it and land it in the zone. His 79 punchouts in 65 innings this spring while leading the Piedmont staff further emphasizes his ability to miss bats and eat innings. There is visible competitiveness on the mound and only adds to the upside and ceiling for the right hander.

Bryson Deaver RHP / SS / Mustang, OK / 2027 Deaver’s spring was a huge part of the Mustang success as they navigated, and won, a gauntlet of a district before ending their season with a dogpile. His competitiveness is clear on the mound, often times finishing what he starts and inducing soft contact along the way. His 63 punchouts in 60 innings for the Broncos led to just a 1.51 ERA as part of a 4-pitch mix. The ability to make in-game adjustments might be the biggest key to his success, as Deaver utilizes both a slider and curveball, distinctly different shapes that he can land and produce swing and miss. A 2-way player, he also produced offensively for Mustang while showing defensive versatility. A ball player in the most complimentary sense, Deaver will make a school at the next level better as he continues to fill out his 5’11” athletic frame with the ability to impact games in a variety of ways.

CJ VanBuskirk SS / 2B / Bishop Kelley, OK / 2027 VanBuskirk was a massive part of a 5A runner up finish for Bishop Kelley in 2026. The shortstop thrived in the Comets 3-hole with maturity in his approach as he continues to add strength and fill out his athletic frame. Playing through injury for much of the year, he was sure-handed at a premium position of shortstop. Further, his ability to execute, drive in runs, and use the entire yard showcased how well rounded his development has been while also pressuring defenses on the bases. He is a name to know for schools at the next level this summer looking for a sure-handed defender that can also impact games offensively.

Cash Woods RHP / Bixby, OK / 2027 RHP Cash Woods was a big part of the Bixby Spartan state tournament run in 2026 as he emerged as the #1 with the ability to beat anyone. He is fearless attacking the strike zone and uses a steady mix to stay off the barrel and the command to work to both edges makes it difficult for opposing hitters to make adjustments. Further, Woods attacks the inner third consistently and allowing just 48 hits in 55 innings this spring speaks to his ability to miss barrels. The stuff continues to tick up and schools at the next level would be well off to see Woods early as he impacts a staff at the next level soon.
