10. Mason Molina, LHP (Texas Tech to Arkansas)

Molina gives the Razorbacks yet another capable and potential front-line starting pitcher entering the 2024 campaign. The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder, started 16 games for the Red Raiders last season, where he struck out 108 and walked 35 in 83.1 innings of work. From a sheer stuff standpoint, Molina is anywhere from 88-92 mph with his fastball, while also having a slider with a 41% whiff rate, per our friends at Synergy. That offering has an average velocity of 79.3 mph, while he also possesses a low-80s changeup and a softer curveball in the mid-70s.

9. Wehiwa Aloy, SS (Sacramento State to Arkansas)

Aloy had a monster freshman season for Sac State and is now headed to Fayetteville to play with the Hogs for the 2024 season. Aloy was a great get for Reggie Christiansen out of high school, and his departure is the unfortunate nature of the transfer portal. He leaves behind a hole after the 6-foot-1, 195-pounder, hit .376 last season with 15 doubles, five triples, 14 homers and 46 RBIs, along with a 1.089 OPS.
