MLB Draft: Arkansas Players Drafted in 2011

The Arkansas Razorbacks were picked clean of top talent once the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft was completed. Four players with ties to the Hogs’ baseball team were selected in the first two rounds of action- Brandon Nimmo, Michael Fulmer, Dillion Howard, and James McCann.

Time will tell how many signees and current players will opt out of college baseball with the Razorbacks to begin their professional career in 2013.

The following is a complete list of where each Arkansas Razorback recruit, players, and those with state ties were drafted.
