The athleticism was apparent as Fish logged a 6.66 60 as well. Defensively, the advanced feel was on full display as the easy mover consistently kept himself in good positions, received the ball out front with comfort playing one handed, and showed the arm strength to stick on the left side of the infield working up to 88 mph. The uncommitted 26’ will be a name to know for schools at the next level searching for a steady presence with plenty of upside in the middle of the field.

   

+ OF Tyler Robinson (Edmond Memorial, 2026) has long flashed tools that make him of the biggest upside plays in the 26’ class. However, Robinson put together a workout to showcase a winter of work and development as he marked new personal bests while having his name scattered amongst the top of various leaderboards. To start, Robinson clocked an event best 6.51 60 as well as an event best Vertical Jump of 31.3 inches. Offensively, Robinson’s offseason work came to fruition as he registered personal bests in Blast Motion’s Rotational Acceleration metric of 24.9g (showcasing force production & sequencing) as well as bat speed at 75.6 mph, thus leading to a 97.2 mph max Exit Velocity, 92 mph avg EV, and 71% Sweet Spot %.

The disciplined approach also showed Exit Velocities reaching as high as 95.4 mph and easy bat speed as high as 78.7 mph.

A talented Tahlequah squad has high hopes in 2025 and Girdner will be in the middle of everything they do.

First, the strong frame at 6’2” and 173 showcases the projectability as he continues to fill out, but he used his long levers well with exit velocities reaching 94.7 mph but an average not far behind at 89.3 mph. Smooth and under control throughout his BP, McCoy was comfortable working out front and extra base hit potential. Defensively, he was still able to play underneath the baseball despite his long frame and had a lot of feel on the slow roller providing firm accurate throws from the lower slot. McCoy will be a versatile player, showing his ability to handle both corners for Tuttle this spring, and his athleticism and ability to cover multiple spots will make him an asset for any team at the next level.

Defensively, he shined as he continued to play with an advanced pace that few in the class can match. His feet continue to put him in good positions, but athleticism and comfort playing one handed and out front allow him to complete each play needed.

The Broken Arrow product already has the tools to produce but he’s an exciting prospect with his best baseball still in front of him.

The right handed hitting catcher saw numerous personal bests fall on the day. To start,he was up to 95.9 mph with his max exit velocity but also 87.4 mph average EV.

At catcher, Copass continued his day of personal bests with his reaching of 79 mph from a crouch and logging pop times between 1.94 and 2.0.
