C Easton Carmichael - Oklahoma

Prospects Live Ranking: #43

Easton Carmichael has been a mainstay behind the dish for the Sooners since he arrived on campus as a freshman in 2023, appearing in 112 games over two seasons. The talented backstop enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2024, slashing .366/.406/.563 with an impressive 31 extra base hits as Oklahoma earned an NCAA Regional hosting bid. The power seems to have improved over the last year, but Carmichael appears to be more of a gap-to-gap hitter than home run slugger. His 10 doubles in 127 at-bats up in the Cape this past summer was good for second in the league as his contact rate and gap power continued to be on display even with wood bats. Despite the contact rate, he’s an aggressive hitter that’s seen his chase rate rise over the last year. Defensively, he needs to improve his arm strength behind the plate if he hopes to remain a catcher at the next level.

One of Oklahoma’s most productive bats picks up some hardware.

Fresh off another huge week at the dish in which he helped the Sooners go 4-0 and open Big 12 play with a home sweep over UCF, OU catcher/designated hitter Easton Carmichael was named the co-Big 12 Player of the Week on Monday, the league announced.

It was a monster week at the plate for Carmichael, as the sophomore hit an absurd .615 in the four home contests with four extra-base hits, including two home runs and eight RBIs. In addition to going 8-for-13, he also drew three walks, scored eight runs and stole a base while only striking out a single time.
