Diamond Hogs' great class could be tested by draft

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas signed several of the nation’s top baseball players in the high school class of 2020.

How many actually play for the Razorbacks will likely be determined over the next two days.

Six Arkansas signees are rated among Baseball America’s 200 best prospects in the MLB Draft that begins Wednesday at 6 p.m. The first 37 players will be chosen Wednesday night, and 123 more will be drafted Thursday.

Any player selected in this year’s shortened five-round draft stands a good chance of signing professionally. All 167 players drafted in the first five rounds last season signed with the team that selected them.
