Roc Riggio
2B/OF Oklahoma State
2022 Okla St. Stat line - 54-G, 210-AB, .295, 11-HR
2-27-23 - Opening Weekend -
Roc Riggio, 2B, Oklahoma State– Like Taylor, Riggio wasted no time starting his season off with some hard contact and a 4-for-11 (.364) showing at the Showdown. On Sunday he even played a for sure double into a single.
After a slow start last spring for the Cowboys, Riggio poured it on to finish with a .295/.413/.519 slash for his true freshman season. The draft-eligible sophomore has good feel at the plate and plenty of pop in his strong, compact 5-foot-9, 185 pound frame. He uses a balanced, athletic open stance and gets his hands into a good hitting position. He’s a solid defender at second base and could also potentially have utility value as a left fielder. Physically and athletically, he evokes comparisons of former OSU infielder Kaden Polcovich, a third-round pick in 2020, but the lefty-swinging Riggio is a better natural hitter and has a late first-round ceiling.

Roc Riggio Oklahoma State
Riggio was a popular name in draft circles in 2021, so much so that the Brewers took a chance and selected him in the 11th round. They didn't end up having the bonus pool necessary to secure his commitment. He'll be a key cog for Oklahoma State moving forward . He's a powderkeg package at the plate with a solid feel for hit and unexpected punch if pitchers hang a mistake. He's a solid defender on the infield, though his versatility may end up best served in the outfield. There's a little bit of Kaden Polcovich in Riggio, a 4th round pick out of Oklahoma State by the Mariners in 2020.
