Oregon Uncommitted Spotlight - '27 INF Dexter Harland
July 13, 2026
As we enter the summer showcase season, Prep Baseball Oregon features an Uncommitted Spotlight, where we highlight standout performers who have attended a Prep Baseball 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 '27 INF Dexter Harland. The La Salle Catholic infielder was most recently seen at the Eugene Preseason ID at the University of Oregon this winter.
A compact-framed righty, Harland's showcase was highlighted by mid-90's exit velocities and a smooth defensive workout. Below is a complete player profile breakdown.
