Oregon Uncommitted Spotlight - '26 C/OF Nathan Bassett
June 9, 2025
As the Oregon high school baseball season concludes, Prep Baseball features an Uncommitted Spotlight, where we highlight standout performers that attended a Prep Baseball Preseason ID event this year. Uncommitted spotlights are meant to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.
This week, we spotlight '26 C/OF Nathan Bassett. The junior out of Grants Pass High School was most recently seen at the Corvallis Preseason ID this winter.
An athletic 6'2 prospect, Bassett's showcase was highlighted by mid-90's exit velocities and catcher pop times under 2 seconds. Below is a complete breakdown of the player, including scouting reports and video from the event.
