On Tuesday, June 9, the PBR Oklahoma staff held its OK Underclass Prospect Games showcase at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City where the state’s best Class of 2022, 2023, and 2024 prospects met to perform alongside one another while marking the start of the summer showcase circuit. Many of the state’s best uncommitted underclass talent participated in this event, making it a high-profile showcase to follow along this critical season for Oklahoma’s incoming juniors, sophomores, and freshmen.

Today, we’re going to begin breaking down last week’s event from a statistical perspective. We’ll share the leaderboards in each of the measured data categories, highlighting the top performers at the Underclass Games.

TOP 60-YARD DASH

There were seven sub-7.00 times turned in at the showcase earlier this month, led by the state’s No. 20-ranked member of its 2023 class: OF Taylor Tomlin (Deer Creek). Tomlin clocked in at a 6.82, demonstrating the same all-around twitch we’ve seen first-hand in the past. Blake Osmond (Jenks, 2022) narrowly finished behind Tomlin at a 6.86, fractions ahead of Grayson Tempest (Union, 2023), Daxton Hembree (Westville, 2022), and Jesse Tisdell (Choctaw, 2022).

MAX FASTBALL VELOCITY

The towering, imposing on-mound presence of RHP Gabe Davis (Choctaw, 2022) was on display again earlier this month. The 6-foot-7 prospect came into the event as arguably its top prospect in attendance, as the No. 13-ranked ‘22 in the class. There, he was up to 89 mph, sitting in the 87-89 range during his session, already up a few ticks since we saw him in February.

RHP Tallen Bagwell (Roff) is a high-follow in the state’s 2023 class and we were eager to see him at a PBR event for the first time since he was a member of Team Oklahoma’s Junior Future Games squad. Here, Bagwell sat 83-86 mph, the highest among his fellow ‘23 grads. The top-10-ranked ‘23 Diego Ramos (Vian) lived in the 83-85 mph range and his lanky and athletic 6-foot-3 frame offers some big projection.

RHP/3B Camden Chalfant (Edmond Memorial, 2022) broke out late in May at Sandlot’s Scout Day and he ticked up on the mound at Underclass Games, where he sat 84-85 mph, touching 86.

MAX EXIT VELOCITY

The OF/C Spencer Boles (Choctaw, 2022) is a physical and athletic prospect to know inside this state’s class, and he performed exceptionally well across the board earlier this month. He’s a muscular 5-foot-11, but he’s still light on his feet (7.10 time in the 60-yard dash) and he gets to his strength in the batter’s box, leading this category with a 97 mph high at this station. His Choctaw teammate Jarrett Flaggert (2022) is a 6-foot-2 middle infielder with some big bat strength, too, topping 94 mph in this category himself. Deer Creek’s left/left two-way prospect Nathan Rogalski led the 2023s in attendance with a 91 mph high here, a tick ahead of fellow ‘23 grad Colt Weaver (Calera). The two showed well in other categories as well; Rogalski was up to 82 mph on the mound from the left side and Weaver ran a 7.08 despite his big 6-foot-6 stature.

MAX INFIELD VELOCITY

Ramos’ obvious arm strength naturally fits on the left side of the infield where he led this group with an 88 mph high across. The left-handed-throwing Rogalski was up to 82 mph on the mound and topped 85 on his throws from first base to third. That mark tied Brett McComas (Deer Creek, 2022) who carries huge arm strength from behind the plate that works on the infield dirt, too.

MAX OUTFIELD VELOCITY

Owasso’s Solomon Skalnik (2022) made a loud PBR event debut by appearing at or near the top of several leaderboards. He paced the outfielders with an 87 mph high to home plate and his 6-foot-3, 200-pound size carries with him some noteworthy projection, and he moves well in the frame, evidenced by a 7.16 time in the 60. Boles was 85 mph to home, as was Luke Schimmels (Deer Creek, 2023).

MAX CATCHER VELOCITY

McComas’ big arm strength showed itself here, though it’s not yet fully efficient in his catch-and-throw. Dalton Williams (Canute, 2022) topped 80 mph as the next best, but was also the day’s quickest on his throws down. And here’s another area where Boles’ hard work was on display, as he topped 78 mph to second and was also among the quicker backstops out of the chute.

TOP POP TIMES

Williams was the lone prospect to record sub-2.00 marks on each of his throws to second base, helping him average the lowest pop times of anyone. He’s shown previously as an advanced receiver, and he’s made big strides over the last year to get even better. Brock West (Choctaw, 2023) is an advanced right-handed bat with next-level traits as a defender, averaging the lowest pops among the ‘23s in attendance. Ponca City’s Carson Williams (2022) is built like a prototypical catcher and he demonstrates natural backstop actions – from his blocking to his catch-and-throw. He gets the most out of his arm strength with quick and accurate movements out of the crouch.
