Brandon
Rogers

2022 MLB Draft League: Oklahoma 2-sport (FB) signee; One of the better athletes in the DL is commited to Oklahoma as two-way Quarterback and outfielder. + athleticism is present on the routes/plays he made in CF. Quick closing speed with a strong arm. Struggled at the plate as he seemed overmatched at the plate vs more mature college arms. May be tough to buy out his commitment to OU.

5-foot-11, 195-pound, muscular, defined frame. Has added noticeable strength throughout his frame but especially in the lower half. Dynamic two-sport athlete who is coming off a knee injury that sidelined him in 2021. One of the top athletes in the class; has run a 6.55 laser-timed 60 in the past. Right-handed hitter, stands in the box with extreme confidence and moxy. Loose, athletic swing that works uphill through the zone while getting extension through contact. High-upside swing with fluid movement patterns and aggressive intent. Rogers led the event with the furthest batted ball at 384 feet off the bat. Defensively, glides and plays light on his feet in the outfield. Quick, easy first step and athletic overall actions. Arm plays quick and throws jump out of his hand, topping at 92 mph. Should draw plenty of attention from pro scouts moving forward, given his overall athleticism and skill set.

Verbally commits to Oklahoma.
