Mitchell becomes 6th member of Diamond Hogs' 2021 class
Isaac MitchellArkansas Prospects coach Andy Menard watched Isaac Mitchell throw one pitch on video and knew he wanted the left-hander on his team.
The first time Menard saw Mitchell pitch in person, Mitchell (6-4, 205) struck out 14 and recorded his first no-hitter in a 2-1 Prospects win in early June. This weekend, the Nixa, Mo., native became the sixth member of Arkansas’ 2021 recruiting class.
“He’s got a great frame, he’s a mid-80s arm, three-pitch mix and basically fills the zone up with those three pitches,” Menard said. “For a 15-year-old kid, there’s a lot to like. I think there’s a lot in that arm, and I think you’ll see him eventually be a low-90s arm when he gets to Arkansas.”
