Jaxon
Willits

Remaining in the top spot in our initial OK 2023 rankings is switch hitting SS Jaxon Willits (Fort Cobb-Broxton), an Oklahoma University commit. The 6-foot, 180-pound athlete has a developed and strong lower half along with some broadness in his shoulders. At the dish, we have only been able to get eyes on him from the left-side where he shows a balanced and quiet set-up. Uses a smooth load and moderate stride before launching his hands on a short and slightly uphill path through extension with bat speed and strength in his hands. Shows a calm, confident, and patient approach at the dish. Defensively,  more of the same confident approach with a high IQ and smooth, confident actions with soft hands and clean footwork. Willits’ hands, feet, and arm strength with carry across the diamond will allow him to stay on the left side of the infield. His frame and foot speed could push him to be an elite defender at third at the next level, depending on development.
