It was unlikely that the Oklahoma Sooners would make it to the College World Series finals in the middle of the 2022 College Baseball season. Cade Horton was one of the main reasons for the Sooners run, from the NCAA tournament to the championship series, winning the Big 12 series five times in a row and winning the title of the Big 12 tournament.
From the Big 12 tournament onwards, he was electrical and exhibited filth at every stop, confusing the batter. It wasn’t the way Sunners fans wanted at the national championships, but Houghton was a great and one of the illustrious spots in the tournament.
For his efforts Houghton was ranked 7th overall in the 2022 MLB Draft.. His efforts helped him climb the draft board just a year away from Tommy John’s surgery.
Unless you’re a St. Louis Cardinal fan, analysts and fans loved picks alike. Let’s take a look at some of the best social media reactions to Kade Houghton’s choices.
