The 2025 MLB Draft is officially in the rear-view mirror.
Players had until 5 p.m. on Monday, July 28 to sign their contracts or opt to play collegiately in 2026. Ten of the 11 Arkansas baseball players selected earlier this month will now begin their professional careers.
The lone returnee for the Razorbacks will be left-handed pitcher Parker Coil, who announced his intention to stay in Fayetteville just before the deadline.
High school signee Landon Schaefer also elected to delay his professional career. MLB Pipeline ranked the Fayetteville High School product No. 125 among this year’s draft prospects. He has a chance to come in and immediately compete to be the starting shortstop after incoming Ball State transfer Dylan Grego was picked in the 13th round.
Every other selection with Arkansas ties opted to turn pro. Here’s a look at all of the signing bonuses the Razorbacks racked up this month.
