After adding roughly 15 pounds of muscle, Benintendi had a big jump across the board offensively this season after hitting just one homer in 2014.
Benintendi has the speed to play center field and is getting ready to play in the College World Series.
The Cincinnati native joins Jeff King (No. 1 pick in 1986) and Kevin McReynolds (sixth pick in 1981) as Razorback players to be selected in the first seven picks of the Draft.
