FAYETTEVILLE — The first day of the Major League Baseball Draft on Sunday is not expected to be as eventful for Arkansas players as in past seasons.
The Razorbacks are not expected to have any players selected Sunday night during the draft’s first round and Competitive Balance Round A. The first day of the draft, which is being held in Denver as part of All-Star Week festivities, is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Central and will be televised by ESPN and MLB Network.
Arkansas has had a first-day selection in the past two drafts, including last year when Heston Kjerstad was drafted second overall by the Baltimore Orioles.
