Arkansas’ Benintendi Selected No. 7 Overall by the Red Sox

Arkansas center fielder Andrew Benintendi was selected No. 7 overall in the 2015 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. The last month has been a spectacular one for the left handed five-tool player from Cincinnati, OH.

Benintendi recently collected SEC Player of the Year and Collegiate Baseball’s National Player of the Year awards just a few weeks ago. He also led a Razorback team that was once 11-12 on the season to 8 straight series wins and a College World Series berth that will begin Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. in Omaha, NE against the University of Virginia.
