Root relies less on his fastball and more on a pitch assortment featuring a changeup, curveball and slider that produced 126 strikeouts in 99⅓ innings last season (fifth in NCAA Division I).

Foutch, a flame-throwing junior whose fastball routinely flirts with triple digits, went to the Boston Red Sox with the 148th overall pick. Minutes later, redshirt sophomore Aiden Jimenez heard his name called by the Kansas City Royals at No. 158.

Another Razorback is off the board. The Baltimore Orioles selected Arkansas baseball shortstop Wehiwa Aloy with the 31st overall pick.
