Prep Baseball Report Oklahoma hosted the second annual OK Summer Open I.D. on Tuesday, July 17th, at the newly turfed Wendell Simmons Field at the University of Central Oklahoma. The event showcased a sold out 55 player roster from all grad classes. Each position player went through a pro-style workout and pitchers threw in a bull pen session. 

Today, we take a look at the seven 2019 right-handed pitchers from the event. Though many of them are two-way players, they will be covered here only as pitchers, with their positional analysis will come later.
