Monte Harrison, who spent the last near decade playing professional baseball, including the MLB, committed to Arkansas, according to Richard Davenport.
Per the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette recruiting writer, Harrison committed to Sam Pittman and the Razorbacks.
He never used any college eligibility.
Originally committed to Nebraska in the Class of 2014, Harrison was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers that year in the second round.
He eventually made it to the Big Leagues in 2020 with the Miami Marlins, playing two seasons with the team.
He also played for the Los Angeles Angels in 2022.
Through that season, Harrison had a .176 batting average, two home runs and six RBI as an outfielder.
He spent the majority of his career in the minor leagues.
The 28-year-old Harrison also held offers from Michigan State, Missouri, Indiana and Kansas, among others when he was a recruit a decade ago.
Arkansas’ offense was much maligned and ultimately its downfall in the 2024 season.
Unable to find any consistency, coach Dave Van Horn played roulette with the line-up all season, deploying over 50 combinations and nine players in the clean-up spot.
However, three clear frontrunners have emerged over the summer in the northeast to fill the middle of the 2025 batting order.
Returning shortstop Wehiwa Aloy, Michael Anderson and Ryder Helfrick are currently the top three home run hitters in the Cape Cod League, widely considered the crème de la crème of summer collegiate baseball leagues.
