LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) – Hidden away in rural SW Oklahoma is one of the best baseball prospects in the country. With the MLB draft a little over a month away, one franchise is going to get a star out of Eli Willits
The Ft. Cobb-Broxton shortstop has a trophy case full of accomplishments, and MLB scouts have taken notice.
“I wouldn’t say it’s much pressure,” Willits said. “It’s just a game as it always is. I like to go out there and compete, play the way I play, and just do the things I do right. Play hard and enjoy it while it’s lasting.“
“Yeah, it helps a lot,” Willits said. “Being here every, game in my career, we’ve never lost one for these seniors. But just going out there competing every day, making sure not to take the other team for granted, and, hopefully coming out with a win every day.”
With Ft. Cobb-Broxton taking home another state title in the spring Eli was thrilled to have one more run with his Mustang teammates!
