FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said the season-ending injury to star right hander Peyton Pallette is a setback, but indicated Wednesday he thinks the Razorbacks still have plenty of arms to be strong in 2022.
Pallette, a junior from Benton, will undergo Tommy John surgery “in the next few days,” Van Horn said in a speech to the Hawgs Illustrated Sports Club. Prior to the injury, Pallette was rated the No. 1 college pitcher available for this year’s MLB Draft by Baseball America.
Van Horn said Pallette began feeling tightness in his elbow after he returned to campus about two weeks ago.
