OK Spring Preview: Red Oak Eagles

The Oklahoma high school baseball season kicks off on March 2nd, opening day for regular season action under Ossaa regulations. Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2020 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, leading into a countdown through the official PBR Oklahoma Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

Perennially, we’ve submitted a Preseason Questionnaire to high school head coaches across the entire state. Their responses have been flooding in and we’re using the detailed insight they’ve provided in our team-by-team preseason analysis.

OUTLOOK

One of the most storied programs in Oklahoma, Red Oak is reloaded and ready to make yet another run at a class B State Championship. They will rely on a strong and proven pitching along with a more than capable defensive behind those arms. When asked what their weakness could be this year, Coach Booth (one of the most decorated HS coaches in the state) answered “coaching”. That does not bode well for others in class B.
