Another one of Arkansas’ best 2022 baseball prospects has decided to stay home to to play college baseball.
Gage Wood, a rising senior right-handed pitcher at Batesville, announced Wednesday night he has changed his verbal commitment from Kansas State to Arkansas.
“It is just home,” Wood said. “I grew up a Hog fan, just watching them and being at Baum Stadium and the aroma and atmosphere and the people in the crowd is just too much to turn down. Like I said, it’s just home.”
Wood (6-1, 190 pounds) struck out 138 batters and walked 19 in 66 2/3 innings as a junior.
