Gunnar Dillard brings championship pedigree and high-upside catch-and-throw upside to Oklahoma
The 2026 freshman catcher from Wall, Texas enters Oklahoma as a defense-first backstop with real bat-to-ball upside: in his senior high-school season, he hit .515 with 5 home runs and 60 RBIs, and Perfect Game ranked him among Texas’s top catchers in the 2025 class. He has not appeared in a game for the Sooners yet, so the appeal is projection — a physical 6-foot, 200-pound righty who already helped anchor a state-title team and looks like a grinder with competitive edge. If you want toughness, pop, and a catcher who may grow into more, he’s worth the watch.
