So anyone have an educated guess on how many we keep?

I think we had 13 before the draft, correct me if I'm wrong.

Typically everyone in the top 10 rounds signs.

Only less than a handful a year don't in the first two days.

We will have to sweat out the early half of the day tomorrow too.

Remember Braylon Bishop went in the 14th round 2 years ago.

So we'd be keeping 7. We also lost our top reliever from the transfer portal.

7 would be a tie for the most top 100 prospects pre draft. It’s absurd that we had 13

He also had no desire to go to college and his contract was equal to a 6th round slot value

Hunter Dietz will make it to campus unless he gets some crazy offer tomorrow.

Clubs are allowed to spend up to $150,000 on players selected in Rounds 11-20 without it counting toward their bonus pool. Any overages go against the pool, so there’s a chance that an organization with lots of early savings could have the space to add a premium talent late on Tuesday.

There’s also significantly less risk in trying that on Day 3. In the first 10 rounds, an unsigned player’s slot bonus still counts toward the pool, giving clubs an extra incentive to ink all of their early picks. There is no such penalty in the 11th round and beyond, so expect some big swings from clubs Tuesday even if they don’t connect before the signing deadline.

Aidan Miller, Kendall George, Nazzan Zanetello, Walker Martin, Jaxon Wiggins, Hunter Hollan, Tavian Josenberger, Jace Bohrofen, Barrett Kent and Dylan Questad all went to the MLB Combine and drafted the first two days.

LHP Hunter Dietz, RHP Gabe Gaeckle, C Ryder Helfrick, SS Nolan Souza and LHP Tucker Holland are the remaining undrafted players with Arkansas ties who went to the MLB Combine in Phoenix.

We've seen the social media comments from Dietz and Holland plus Gaeckle and Hachman withdrawing but anything can happen on Day 3.



I'm interested if any of the current draft eligible older Razorbacks unexpectedly get drafted tomorrow.

Slavens, Morris, Cali, Dylan Carter, Adcock, Holt, Isaac Webb, Nick Griffin are all in the MLB.com draft tracker database.

Fisher, Dietz, Gaeckle, McGuire, Helfrick, Souza are the ranked HS players in the database all from 135-230.

Holland, Waid, Cho, Conradt, Jack Smith, Diego Ramos are unranked in the database.

HS players Hachman, Kade Smith, Franco aren't in the database.

Transfer in the database - Ty Wilmsmeyer.

Braden Montgomery has entered the portal. I gotta assume we (along with everyone else) will be beating down his door.

He likely wasn't going to hit enough to play in the OF at Arkansas so good choice taking what money he did.

He peaked his sophomore year in travel baseball/scouting combines.

Also have to look at it as gaining Koty Frank back, which is huge for the pen.
