As expected
Outfielder Cole Johnson just let me know that he’s all set to be a Georgia Bulldog. The former Oconee County standout was taken in the 18th round of the MLB Draft by Baltimore.
Nestor German was electric last night: 6 IP, 2 R, 1 BB, 10 K German is up to 97 strikeouts in 83 IP this season (A+\AA)
✅
JUCO signee Denton Biller, who was selected in the 16th round of this month’s #MLBDraft, tells me he has decided to sign with the Orioles. That means the talented RHP won’t come to Arkansas. We’re now waiting on just one more decision: bestofarkansassports.com/arkansas-baseb… #WPS
One last trip down to The Diamond. Farewell, friend.

RHP Trey Gibson was DOMINANT last night. 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K In 41.1 IP, Gibson has a 1.96 ERA with 53 strikeouts. He’s limiting opponents to a .158 average.
Orioles 12th round pick, RHP Daniel Lopez, announces he’s headed to @KUBaseball. Big-time arm up into the mid 90s. Will be a strong asset for the #Jayhawks.
After talking with my family and coaches, I’ve decided to return to school and continue my academic and athletic journey at the University of Kansas this season. Thank you to the Orioles and everyone who supported me. Grateful for what’s ahead! Let’s go to Omaha . #RockChalk
