Campbell, Fletcher taken on draft's first day
Arkansas starter Isaiah Campbell receives the ball from the plate Saturday, June 1, 2019, during the eighth inning against TCU in the Razorbacks' 3-1 win at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville. FAYETTEVILLE — Isaiah Campbell observed patience pay off for Arkansas' ace pitcher the two years before he assumed the role.
In 2016, Trevor Stephan, then a junior college pitcher who was signed with the Razorbacks, turned down an 18th-round offer by the Boston Red Sox and opted to play at Arkansas. The next year he was a third-round pick of the New York Yankees and signed for $800,000.
