Watch Tigers draft pick Jack Kenley mash a home run for Arkansas

The 2018 NCAA Division I baseball season ended as a heartbreaker for the Arkansas Razorbacks. They went down to defeat to Oregon State in the College World Series. This year, they’re looking to erase that heartbreak as one of the favorites to win the tournament. A recent Tigers’ selection in the 2019 draft has something to with that, and he had a big day on Saturday for the Hogs.

Razorbacks’ second baseman Jack Kenley was selected by the Detroit Tigers with their eighth round pick. Kenley spent his first two years struggling for playing time behind established upperclassman but has come into his own with consistent playing time this season.
