Prep Baseball Report Oklahoma hosted the third annual OK Fall Top Prospect Games on Sunday, October 28th, at the beautiful remodeled Wendell Simmons Field on the campus of Central Oklahoma. The event showcased a sold out 77 player roster from the 2022-2019 grad classes. Each position player went through a pro-style workout and played in a scrimmage where pitchers threw live. 

This extremely talented event saw impressive numbers in every category, including nine arms that were 85+ mph, seven sub 7 60s, four 90+ exit velos, and three sub 2 sec pop times.

Today, we take a look at the eight right-handed 2019 grads on the mound. Though many of the players here are talented two-way player, they will be covered here as pitchers only with positional analysis to come later.
