2025 Signature Event: Underclass Premier
A member of the White squad at the upcoming Underclass Premier in Hartford, Odubela was on scout’s lists for quite some time after showing out at the NorCal Regional Combine all the way back in January. He earned his way to Houston for the National Combine six months later and performed well; while listed as an outfielder, he also handled second base comfortably.
With a lean, but muscular frame that has some athleticism in it, Odubela will only continue to improve as he adds strength as he progresses through his prep years, and he’ll be an intriguing player to keep an eye on this weekend at Dunkin’ Park.
