Arkansas Boosts Pitching with Transfer Hitters

Arkansas Boosts Pitching with Transfer Hitters

Author: The Daily News Now! June 7, 2026 Duration: 1:48

Arkansas baseball is reloading the mound with two big transfer signings—lefty Ridge Harvey from Belmont and righty Lance Alexander from Johnson County Community College—both set to be sophomores next season. They join recent addition Micah Henson, a junior lefty who transferred from Kansas State. Harvey, with a 4.24 ERA and 50 Ks, was drawn by Arkansas’ culture and family ties, while Alexander, a national champ with 67 Ks in 50+ innings, credits his faith in guiding his decision. Both bring elite stuff: Alexander’s fastball hits 90+, Harvey’s sits in the 88-90 range, plus strong off-speed pitches. The Razorbacks are clearly building depth strategically—and fans are eager to see how these arms elevate their 2025 campaign.
