Every season tells a different story, and for the Oklahoma Bible Academy baseball team, this year’s chapter is one of growth and grit. Head coach Titus Burrell is leading a young squad with a few key seniors setting the tone for a rebuild.
“We are a young team with a few seniors leading the charge,” said Burrell. “We’re looking to rebuild.”
While the roster may lean on youth, the foundation is built on solid leadership and unselfish contributions. One senior making a major impact—without needing the spotlight—is Lukas Olsen.
“Lukas is a senior utility player, infield and DH,” said Burrell. “He is positive and upbeat, coming to work every day and a team player.”
Burrell emphasizes that culture is just as important as skill development in a rebuilding season. That’s where senior Jacob Buller shines. As both a returning starter and leader in the outfield and on the mound, Buller brings more than stats to the team.
“He is a senior outfielder/pitcher, returning starter,” Burrell said. “Looking for great things for his final season.”
Underclassmen are already stepping into vital roles, and one sophomore in particular has caught the coaching staff’s attention: first baseman Jacoby Justice. His discipline at the plate and work ethic set him apart.
“He is a returning starter, 10th grader playing first base,” said Burrell. “Good eye at the plate and is a hard worker.”
As the team progresses through the season, the focus remains on building confidence, sharpening fundamentals, and trusting the process. The blend of experienced leadership and up-and-coming contributors makes this squad one to keep an eye on—not just for wins, but for the way they compete and carry themselves.
Coach Burrell remains steady in his vision, knowing that character, effort, and consistency matter just as much as talent. It’s a philosophy that is shaping not only a baseball team, but a group of young men.
With a few seniors paving the way and underclassmen like Justice rising through the ranks, the OBA baseball team is laying the groundwork for the future—one pitch, one inning, and one hard-earned lesson at a time.
