Parker Coil Recounts the Chaotic Days Preceding His Decision to Turn Down the Brewers

FAYETTEVILLE — In what has become an annual tradition, MLB teams decimated the Arkansas baseball roster last month.

The Razorbacks matched a school record with 11 players drafted and another two signed as free agents. They also lost a trio of would-be newcomers.

It wasn’t all doom and gloom, though.

Left-hander Parker Coil was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 16th round, but chose to play his senior year at Arkansas — a rare move in college baseball, especially since the draft was reduced to 20 rounds in 2021.
