Wyatt Olds Pitcher, #75 - Boston Red Sox
Olds was the top–rated high school prospect in the state of Oklahoma in 2018 coming out of McLoud High School (621 students) in Pottawatomie County, northwest of Shawnee, about 5 miles from Dale.
Played for the Oklahoma Sooners from 2019 to 2021 before being drafted in the 7th round of the 2021 MLB Draft and making his big-league debut with Boston in August 2026.
In his big league debut on August 17, 2026, Wyatt Olds pitched a perfect 9th inning to close out an 11-1 blowout victory for the Red Sox.
The game was played at home at historic Fenway Park against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Debut Stats:
• Innings Pitched (IP): 1.0
• Hits (H): 0
• Runs / Earned Runs (R/ER): 0
• Walks (BB): 0
• Strikeouts (SO): 2
• Pitches Throws: 12 total pitches (9 for strikes)
Olds needed just 12 pitches to lock down the perfect frame, notably kicking off his MLB career by striking out James McCann and Jordan Lawler back-to-back before getting a groundout to end the game.
Wyatt's late summer assignments with the club have been quite a roller-coaster, but that is life in pro baseball:
After being optioned back to Triple-A late in August, the Red Sox officially recalled Olds to the active major league roster on September 27, 2026. Furthermore, the team just announced their 26-man active roster for the 2026 American League Wild Card Series against the New York Yankees, and Olds is officially included in the bullpen.
BOOMER

Still researching since rosters can change by the day. Here's one, hopefully will find some more. Feel free to add whoever else you know about.
Cade Horton (RHP):
The former OU star and 2022 first-round draft pick is on the Cubs' expanded postseason pitching depth chart. He made his highly anticipated MLB debut during the 2026 regular season, maintaining a strong 2.45 ERA over his starts.

Does this board have a thread on "OU players now in MLB"?
I looked around a bit, might have missed it. tia

An important person said their state's name was changed.
It is now "New America". :usa:

Agree. BV never fires in-season . . .
Welp . . . iirc, when things went uber-haywire, Seth got canned mid-season.
But a corrective action should not wait until going down the toilet.
Exactly my thought at the end of our first possession. Why abandon a solid run attack?!? On that 3rd and three Avant likely would have scored if given the ball. UM had not figured out things at that point.
BA has learned nothing.
Pre-season hype was garbage.

Welcome! I think our Heisman winner QB Sam Bradford married an Arky gal, she was on your golf team. Heck, Coach Switzer is an Arky grad.
I hope BV already instructed OUr whole program, "No Comment" when the media tries to provoke OUr players into talking smack about the "questionable" call.
Social media blackout.

You got that right.
BV gets a team ready.

Appalachian State defeated Michigan in The Big House on September 1, 2007.
Take nothing for granted.

Back in 1960 Joe Garagiola wrote a book titled "Baseball is a Funny Game" as in unpredictable. That's one of the great things about the sport.
Has BV said what date he will release the starting lineup?
Is that regulated by conference rules?
I recall a Thursday of game week thing for injured list.
siap

hmmm ... are these former Michigan FB staffers leaving the chaos ...
or bringing chaos ?

I've been away from OKC a while. Is this new arena being built where the Myriad Convention Center used to be? I think the Myriad was renamed the Cox Convention Center, is that right?
At this point, OUr baseball club is a veteran team. They will take care of business.
Yes!
BV is 100% all-in to build the right kind of culture the right way.
Talk about high-energy!
Everything in life is built on relationships. BV knows how to cultivate those well with all kinds of people.

Now I'm even more confused.
Does this mean the "big ruling" at the Cleveland County Courthouse stands?
Owen gets to play ball?
I was certain the NCAA would sabotage the good news any way they could, with any sleazy gambit they could scheme up.

He opposed Lankford?
That's all I know and that sounds good to me.
I'm in hOUston these days but I can cheer from edge of the bleachers.

Maybe we can bring in Russell Crowe for the grand opening.
