Oklahoma Sooners baseball head coach [autotag]Skip Johnson[/autotag]’s hot streak in the [autotag]transfer portal[/autotag] has continued into the weekend.
OU added infielder [autotag]Mason Hamlin[/autotag] out of the portal from Texas Permian Basin, a Division II school in Odessa, Texas, on Saturday.
Hamlin entered the portal on June 25th after a coaching change at UTPB, but was very productive for the Falcons in his two seasons in West Texas. He hit the ball at a .370 clip with 154 hits and seven home runs, and stole 49 bases while starting all 109 contests he played for UT Permian Basin.

During both of his seasons at UTPB, Hamlin was instrumental in the program’s turnaround from an also-ran to a contender in the Lone Star Conference. In 2024, Hamlin helped the Falcons to the Division II NCAA National Championship Tournament, the first appearance in the program’s history.
Hamlin’s timely hits and stellar play at shortstop will now be tested at the Division I level, as he joins pitcher Jason Bodin and utility player Brayden Horton as portal additions this week for Johnson and his staff.
