The Oklahoma Sooners baseball team continued their hot July in the [autotag]transfer portal[/autotag] this weekend. OU added utility player Jeffrey Martz to the team from the junior college ranks.
Martz transfers in from GateWay Community College, after hitting .320 with a .402 on-base percentage over his two years of JUCO ball. He hit 12 home runs, 12 triples and 35 doubles.
Martz is capable of playing a variety of positions, primarily seeing time at catcher in his collegiate career. He is able to play first and third base as well. He arrives in Norman with two years of eligibility left.

Head coach Skip Johnson has been very active in the transfer portal in the month of July. He’s added players like Texas A&M‘s Jason Bodin and Liberty’s Brayden Horton after losing eight players to the 2024 MLB Draft this month. The Sooners won the outright [autotag]Big 12[/autotag] regular season conference title in 2024, and will now make the transition to the [autotag]SEC[/autotag].
