Aloy added as Arkansas continues to retool baseball roster

Arkansas added a NCBWA freshman All-American to its baseball ledger over the weekend.

Dave Van Horn has had plenty of time to prepare for the future since Arkansas doesn’t find itself currently in Omaha.

On Saturday he found another diamond in the rough as Wehiwa Aloy, a shortstop from Sacramento State, committed to his Razorback baseball team.

Aloy was recently named a freshman All-American by the NCBWA and was the freshman of the year in the Western Athletic Conference.

He hit .376 and clobbered 14 home runs while driving in 46 runs, along with scoring 69 of his own and recording an OPS of 1.089.

The right hander from Hawaii also fielded .928 and assisted on 36 double plays.

He will be draft-eligible in 2025. He joins a transfer portal class of William Edmonson, Hudson White, Ty Wilmsmeyer and Jack Wagner.
