RANKINGS SPOTLIGHTS

Titus Hawk 1B / Choctaw, OK / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 11 / POS: 1 The 6’7” and 220 pound multisport athlete is coming off a big summer that included a strong showing at the Area Code Games in August. The Notre Dame commit has shown the ability throughout his career to impact games through disciplined ABs, leading to leverage counts, and produces extra base hits from the middle of a talented Choctaw lineup. His athleticism translates into being a plus defender at first base as well as adjustability as he works deep into counts. Hawk continues to rise as a multisport standout splitting time between three sports that only adds to his massive ceiling on the baseball field.

Jake Lopez SS / Broken Arrow, OK / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 16 / POS: 5 Lopez continues to rise in our latest installment as he continues to develop in all facets of his game. A long athletic frame, we have long seen Lopez showcase advanced feel and instincts on the infield as well as the physical tools to stick on the left side of the infield. On the back of a strong summer offensively, he has further showed legitimate 2-way upside with backend-of-the-bullpen potential with a fastball up to 93 and a tunneled slider that he can land and get swing and miss late in counts. The recent Dallas Baptist commit oozes upside throughout his game on top of a strong foundational skillset that can impact games in a variety of ways.

Wyatt Pendergraph RHP / Blanchard, OK / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 19 / POS: 3 Pendergraph has long shown upside in addition to visible competitiveness on the mound and a slow heartbeat that allows him to attack adversity head on - such traits led to him closing out the 2025 State Championship game for Blanchard. The intangible traits are still visible with continued growth from the physical right hander toeing the slab at 6’3” and close to 200 pounds. The fastball continued to climb into the low 90s this summer with a north/south breaking ball that plays well off the high IVB heater. A strong, athletic RHP, Pendergraph continues to develop and refine his entire mix and appears primed for a strong senior campaign for the Lions.

Kellen Gaede OF / Claremore, OK / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 31 / POS: 9 Gaede continues to rise in our latest installment with intriguing upside throughout his game. The left hander has shown the ability to work the fastball into the upper 80s and the intent to attack both edges. Further, he has been fearless in his ability to pitch inside and makes for an uncomfortable AB for both RHH and LHH alike. The athleticism that has made him a strong defender throughout the outfield as well as showcase advanced bat to ball ability, also translates onto the mound. Gaede consistently lands multiple pitches in the zone with a swing and miss slider to put away hitters late in counts. A well-coached prospect, his distinct understanding of his mix and how to utilize it against opposing hitters has laid a strong foundation with upside to continue developing in the future.

Miles Stanley SS / Mount St. Mary, OK / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 34 / POS: 8 Stanley has long shown winning qualities in the middle of the diamond - strong defense, high IQ, and a top of the order skillset with the ability to handle the bat. The Mount St. Mary product has continued adding to his game with strength present throughout the spring, a big part of the Rockets 4A runner-up finish, as well as down at the Senior Future Games in July. The increase in extra base hits, feel for backspinning balls to the pull side, and exit velos nearing triple digits speaks to the added facet of his game. A 60 as low as 6.88 and versatility on the infield to play all three spots, Stanley has shown the ability to impact games in a variety of ways and rises in our latest installment.

Pryce McClure RHP / Yukon, OK / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 40 / POS: 10 Coming off a strong spring and junior campaign, McClure showed to be a workhorse at the front of the rotation that carried into the summer months. We have seen consistent, gradual development from the right hander with the velocity to go along with polish in the secondary offerings. The well-rounded mix starts with a fastball with enough late life to miss barrels, a breaking ball that he can land to both edges and use to attack both RHH and LHH alike, and finally a changeup that is flat out of hand and can get swing and miss against LHH. As competitive as you will find with the ability to execute at a high level, McClure continues to rise in our latest installment and is primed for a strong senior campaign.

Bryson Deaver RHP / Mustang, OK / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 41 / POS: 11 Deaver rises in our latest installment following a monster spring as the #1 at the top of the rotation for the 6A State Champion Mustang Broncos. Gaining momentum throughout the spring, he consistently showcased advanced command as the velo has continued to rise and advanced feel for secondary offerings. Deaver’s frame still has room to continue adding mass and strength with more velo to come in the future. The athleticism that allows him to defend across the diamond, also shows up on the mound with his feel for secondary offerings. The breaking ball plays well off the high IVB fastball that he can land in the zone or get swing and miss late in counts. Deaver rises in our latest update with consistent growth, visible winning intangibles, and upside that points to a bright future.

Will Martin 3B / Oklahoma Christian School, OK / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 62 / POS: 5 Martin rises in our post-summer installment with an advanced hit tool from the left side that can produce from the middle of the lineup. We have seen him drive the baseball from alley to alley with comfort elevating to the pull-side with backspin. An easy, efficient offensive move consistently gets Martin in good positions to hit with good direction through the big part of the field. We have also seen versatility defensively with the ability to be a strong defender on both corners of the infield and athleticism to perhaps defend elsewhere as well. A physical left handed presence, Martin is a name to know for schools at the next level with the ability to impact games at a high level from the middle of the lineup and plenty of upside for the future.

CJ VanBuskirk SS / Bishop Kelley, OK / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 67 / POS: 13 VanBuskirk rises in our latest installment as he prepares for his senior campaign. A big spring that included sure-handed defense at shortstop, VanBuskirk produced out of the 3-hole for the 5A runner-up Bishop Kelley. He continues to develop throughout his offensive game with the ability to handle the bat and continues to add more thump and extra base hits. Further, he has shown the ability to stick on the left side of the infield at the next level, working into the upper 80s across the diamond, and throwing with good carry. Still young for the class, the upside for the lean-framed infielder is huge with room to continue adding to his frame and a skillset to impact games in all facets.

Charlie Castleman SS / Claremore, OK / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 102 / POS: 21 Following a standout summer circuit, the recent Connors State commit consistently delivered high-level in-game production. His impressive performances featured strong showings at both the Upperclass Games in June and the Oklahoma State Games, where he continually collected hits and showcased an all-around skillset. Castleman’s offensive move is simple and efficient, consistently working through the middle of the field with extra-base hit potential throughout the entire yard as well. We have also seen sure-handed defense from Castleman with the athleticism to offer versatility to other parts of the diamond. The 6’0” and 160 pound frame still points toward projectability with room to grow, and Castleman rises in our ranks with a skillset to impact games now and upside in the future.
