Razorback 2020 MLB Draft Primer

The Arkansas Razorback Baseball program should be well represented in the Major League Baseball draft that begins tomorrow. The draft will be condensed to five rounds in order to save teams money due to the Coronavirus. Teams will be able to sign an unlimited amount of undrafted free agents for $20,000. The Razorbacks should have at least three former players drafted.

Heston Kjerstad(6’3 205): He has been the most consistent of the group. A heavy hitter, Kjerstad hit 37 home runs, 129 RBIs and a career .343 batting average (.448 in 2020) in 150 career games. CBS Sports has him going anywhere between picks nine and eleven.
