Pitching Staff

Catching Staff

The Oklahoma State Baseball Team has a strong catching staff this season. With experience and talent at the position, the Cowboys are poised to make some noise in the conference.

Heading the catching corps is junior college transfer Jonatan Feliz.Feliz is a tall, physical catcher who has a strong arm and good pop behind the plate. He’s expected to be a force in the middle of the lineup and will provide a boost to the pitching staff.

Behind Feliz is redshirt sophomore Preston Hartsell. Hartsell is a versatile player who can also play first base and the outfield. He’s a good hitter with some power, and he’ll be a key player off the bench for the Cowboys.

Rounding out the catching contingent is freshman Jaxon Barnes. Barnes is a high energy player with good speed and agility. He has good contact at the plate and should see some time as a pinch hitter or late inning defensive replacement.

Outfielders

The outfield is one of the most important parts of the Game of Baseball The outfielders are responsible for catching fly balls and stopping runners from advance too far around the bases. Here is a look at the Okstate baseball roster and the talented outfielders that make up the team.

Designated Hitters

Designated hitters (DH) were introduced to baseball in the American League in 1973. A designated hitter bats instead of the pitcher and does not play in the field. The position is usually filled by a power hitter who can provide some offense but is not adept at Playing Defense In the National League pitchers still hit for themselves.

The designated hitter can be used in any situation, whether it’s to rest a player or to give the team a power boost late in the game. The manager has the option of using a pinch hitter for the DH, but once the DH is removed from the game, he cannot re-enter.

DH’s must be assigned to an offensive position (BattingOrder), so they will not accumulate statistics defensively.

Utility Players

Osuna, a utility player who bats right-handed, has played first base and all three field positions this season. He has appeared in 37 games, with 29 starts. He is batting .333/.385/.542 with five home runs and 21 RBIs.
