Oakie is a 6-foot-3, 207-pound righthander who has trended up over the last two years with velocity and is now one of the most electric pitchers in the prep class. He has an athletic frame with room for more strength and throws from a low three-quarters arm slot that gets to fully sidearm at times and pumps mid-90s fastballs into the zone with tons of arm-side running life. He has some of the best fastball movement in the class and has also flashed a plus slider in the 83-86 mph range that has huge spin and hard and late biting action. He can get around the pitch at times given his arm slot, but when he’s ripping off a good one it’s a real out pitch. Oakie primarily uses his fastball/slider combo but has flashed a firm, upper-80s changeup that needs more work. He has a chance for average control and is committed to Iowa, though he’s viewed as a day one draft talent.
