Sophomore first baseman Blake Robertson

It’s not the first time Blake Robertson will get his name called in the MLB Draft. After his senior season at Edmond Santa Fe High School, Robertson was selected In the 26th round in the 2019 MLB Draft.

Instead, Robertson took the college baseball rout and attended Oklahoma State. After a one year stint with the Cowboys, he played JUCO at Cowley County, then Robertson transferred to Oklahoma, and it payed off heavily.

Robertson finished the 2022 season batting .300, with 62 RBI and 5 homers. The 6-foot, 5-inch first basemen was another key bat in the Sooners lineup, and a reliable glove at first base.

Projection: Rounds 8-10
