Scouting Report
Witherspoon is in his second season at Oklahoma after transferring from JC prior to the 2024 season and looks to be in the midst of a major breakout. The stuff has always been loud. It's a plus fastball that sits 95-97 mph but he can run it up close to triple digits at times. It's complemented by a tight slider and an emerging changeup that produced plenty of miss in 2024.
Prior to the 2025 season, there was speculation about reliever risk with Witherspoon. Early in the season through the opening weekend of conference play, he's doubled his strikeout rate and halved his walk rate. Tougher tests are ahead, but a continuation of this sort of performance will have him creeping up boards and in the mix for college SP3.
When it was all said and done, Witherspoon ripped off 95 IP and maintained a sparkling 2.86 FIP, a 31.8 K%, and a 5.9 BB%. Almost every aspect of his performance took a significant step forwards in 2025 and he'll be just 20 on draft day.
