Arkansas baseball had added only position players in the transfer portal thus far, but that changed on Tuesday.
Stone Hewlett, a southpaw from Kansas, decided to move from the Big 12 to the SEC and join the Razorbacks.
Thank you to everyone at the University of Kansas for making my last 3 years special. After conversations with my family, I have decided to transfer to the University of Arkansas. Could not be more excited for this opportunity and can’t wait to get there. #WPS pic.twitter.com/3GrXKxZ7j0
