Draft Prospects
-
School: Fort Cobb-Broxton (Okla.) HS. Committed: Oklahoma. Age At Draft: 17.6
Willits ranked as the No. 7 high school player in the 2026 class before he announced in May 2024 that he was reclassifying for 2025, so he will play the entire showcase circuit as a 16-year-old and could be the youngest player drafted in 2025. He’s the son of former Angels outfielder Reggie Willits, who is the associate head coach at Oklahoma, where Eli is committed. Eli’s offensive polish stands out for his age. He’s a switch-hitter with a short, tight swing from both sides. He stays balanced and has a simple approach and good bat control. Willits makes consistent contact against all pitch types, spreading line drives around the field with gap power that should tick up as he gets stronger. An average runner, Willits reads hops well and has a good internal clock at shortstop, projecting to play somewhere in the middle infield. -
