Dylan Leach wasn’t in the transfer portal long.
The rising junior from Carthage, Texas, announced his entry into the portal over the weekend. On Monday, he announced his destination: Missouri.
“After talking with God and my family, I’d like to announce I will be continuing my baseball career at the University of Missouri,” Leach wrote on Twitter. “Thank you for everyone’s support through this process.”
Leach spent the season as the No. 2 catcher behind Michael Turner, who incidentally, came to Arkansas via the transfer portal from Kent State. Leach started 16 games and hit .224 with four home runs and 16 RBIs.
Leach’s biggest moment came against Central Arkansas on April 5 when he hit for the cycle, going 5 for 5 after entering the game just 1 for 22.
Arkansas will return only one catcher next season. Max Soliz Jr. was the No. 4 player in Alabama when he was in high school. Soliz played in five games this past season for the Razorbacks.
