FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas might have its center fielder of the future in Texarkana high school standout Braylon Bishop.
Bishop, who was selected Tuesday by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 14th round of the MLB Draft, said he plans to play for Arkansas next year.
Rated Baseball America's 88th-best prospect before the draft, Bishop is viewed as a possible replacement for Christian Franklin, who was selected in the fourth round by the Chicago Cubs.
“I will for sure be at Arkansas and my goal is to just go up there and try to take over where Franklin has left off,” Bishop said Tuesday following the draft.
