Brock headed to Yankees

Former OU outfielder/catcher Brendan Brock was selected in third round by the New York Yankees with the No. 99 overall pick, making him the first Sooner off the board. 

Brock spent a single season in Norman following two seasons at Southwestern Illinois. In 2026, Brock posted a .302 batting average with 74 hits and 13 home runs. He played a key role in OU's national championship run, recording 21 hits across 13 NCAA Tournament games, including three home runs.

Brock was the No. 112 prospect and second-highest-ranked OU player in the draft. His selection continues two long-standing program streaks as OU has had at least one player taken in every draft since 1970 and at least one player selected in the first 10 rounds every year since 2011.
