FAYETTEVILLE — Pitcher Jackson Rutledge will transfer to San Jacinto Junior College for the 2019 season, he announced on his Twitter account Wednesday.
Rutledge, a freshman right-hander, has not pitched for Arkansas since walking two batters and throwing three wild pitches without recording an out during an April 29 game against Alabama. He did not travel with the Razorbacks to LSU or Georgia earlier this month, or to this week's SEC Tournament.
"I haven't seen him pitch good, so I can't throw him out there," Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said May 7 when asked about Rutledge.
