MLB : “After missing the first two months of his freshman year with an injury, Spikerman joined Oklahoma's lineup and helped spark a run to the 2022 College World Series Finals. He slumped throughout the first half of 2023 before finishing strong, then was enjoying the best season of his career when he broke the hamate bone in his right hand in mid-March. He returned as a pinch-runner a month later and rejoined the lineup in May.
Spikerman's double-plus speed is the key to his game. He makes a lot of ground-ball contact, using his quickness to beat out hits, and he's a prolific and successful basestealer. He also covers plenty of ground in center field and leaves no doubt that he can remain there at the next level.
In his first two seasons, the switch-hitting Spikerman struck out too much for a player trying to serve as a catalyst, but he has made more consistent contact this spring. He never has displayed much power, though some scouts think he has enough strength and bat speed to produce 10-12 homers per season if he opens up his approach. A shortstop in high school, he has at least average arm strength and could see some action as a middle infielder in a utility role as a pro.”
