The 6-foot-4, 200-pound senior left-handed pitcher and outfielder led the Elks (28-5) to the Class 4A tournament quarterfinals this past season. The state’s returning Gatorade Player of the Year, Mayfield went 8-0 on the mound with a 0.16 ERA and 115 strikeouts in 44 innings, walking just eight to record a 0.27 WHIP. He held opponents to a 0.30 batting average and recorded 2.61 Ks per inning, surrendering only four hits and one earned run this spring. At the plate, he batted .476 with 13 doubles and 11 triples, scoring 31 runs and driving home 31. His on-base percentage was .629, his OPS was 1.593 and he stole 21 bases in 22 attempts. Ranked as the nation’s No. 27 prospect in the Class of 2024 by MLB Pipeline, he was a 2023 Perfect Game All-American, the Most Valuable Pitcher at the World Wood Bat Association championships and was a 2023 USA Baseball prospect selection.
Mayfield has maintained a 3.18 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a National Letter of Intent to play baseball on scholarship at Oklahoma State University this fall, but is projected as an early round selection in July’s Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft.
Mayfield has volunteered locally on behalf of First Christian Church and has also donated his time to Dream League of Elk City, an organization that provides physically challenged kids a chance to play baseball.
