Hunter Rose needed almost no time at all to say yes to the address.
The freshman from Texarkana committed to the Arkansas baseball on Wednesday, becoming the third member of his Sticks U-15 club to do so. He joins Spencer Browning, shortstop Marcus Bates, catcher Keaton Morris, left-hander Johnny Carver and right-hander Lincoln Boyle as pledges in the Class of 2026.
Rose, a left-handed pitcher, is 6-foot-1 and 150 pounds, suggesting a body type that could end up similar to former Arkansas ace Blaine Knight, only opposite-handed. According to Brewster, Rose has the skill to play outfield, too.
“I went ahead and did it because it is my dream school and there’s no reason to wait – it if is my dream school and everything,” Rose told Pig Trail Nation’s Dudley Dawson. “I can just focus on improving and getting better.”
Rose’s high-school teammate at Pleasant Grove, Brenton Clark, is an Arkansas commit in the Class of 2024. The lefty freshman was also being recruited by Texas A&M, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt, among others.
