Oklahoma State head coach Josh Holliday was thrilled when highly-touted college baseball recruit Garrett Shull officially enrolled for his freshman season. He is jacked.
The 19-year-old is going to be a menace during his two or three years in Stillwater.
Shull grew up in Enid, Okla., approximately 65 miles from his new home. At 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, he was ranked as the No. 47 overall recruit in the most recent recruiting class and the No. 8-ranked player at his position by Perfect Game. MLB Draft analyst Keith Law considered him one of the top-50 players in the country and MLB.com listed him as the No. 76 player on the top-250 prospect list.
Despite the pre-draft hype, Shull went undrafted. His “older age” was likely a turn-off for front offices but the Cowboys are happy to have him!
Garrett Shull hit .430 in high school with 77 stolen bases, 27 home runs and 149 RBIs. However, it is his intangibles that really set him apart. He tested extremely well at the Perfect Game showcase last year.
One of Shull’s biggest strengths, literally, is his power. The size of his arms is outrageous.

Oklahoma State posted a series of photos from the batting cages on Monday. Your jaw will drop to the floor when you get to the picture of the Cowboys’ absurdly strong freshman outfielder. You’ll know the one.
Not only do Garrett Shull’s arms look like those of a 31-year-old Eric Thames at only 19 years old, the bat flex is crazy. He has so much torque in his swing that the bat cannot keep up.
Oklahoma State will begin its 2025 college baseball campaign on Friday. The Cowboys have high hopes for a national championship run and expect to compete at the College World Series. It is unclear as to how Garrett Shull will factor into the lineup but he could very quickly emerge as the Freshman of the Year!
