There's lots of great recruiting stories in college baseball. I recall all the time Todd Butler spent chasing Andrew Benintendi and Zack Cox. And, how Tony Vitello found and signed Heston Kjerstad. They were wonderful stories of persistence by a top flight recruiter.
Then, there's the recruiting story of Matt Cronin, a likely high draft choice next season. He's the flame throwing closer for the No. 3 Arkansas baseball team leading the SEC West ahead of a home series with South Carolina set to begin Thursday night at Baum Stadium.
Basically, he just showed up at Arkansas from Navarre, Fla.
