Oregon Uncommitted Spotlight - '27 INF/RHP Roy Bannister
November 10, 2025
As we conclude the fall 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/RHP Roy Bannister. The junior out of Corvallis High School was most recently seen at the North Portland Summer ID at the University of Portland this June.
An athletic two-way talent, Bannister's showcase was highlighted by a 6.84 60-yard dash time and exit velocities up to 93.3 MPH. Below is a complete breakdown of the player, including scouting reports and video from the event.
