We recruited him out of high school, I believe while Kelly was here.

ETA: I'm surprised Reese Robinette hasn't portaled out of Arkansas yet.

He had an “internal brace”, which is a little different than full on TJ that is supposed to shorten the recovery. It’s not an option for everyone, and pretty new. They decided to redshirt him instead of rushing him back this past season. He should 100% now.

quote:

LHP Adam Hachman

Right behind Dietz in Perfect Game's 2023 class rankings at No. 58, Adam Hachman touts a big arm from the left side. Offseason surgery left him in the dugout for the entire 2024 season, and the timetable for the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Missouri native's return from an arm injury in high school is still unclear.

"Hachman, hurt that arm senior year in high school," Van Horn said. "Really hard thrower, needs to be a pitcher, needs to be able to pitch. We’re still figuring that one out but I’m sure in the next month, we’ll now where we’re at with that one."

Hachman had the internal brace procedure, not Tommy John surgery, which some have reported.

Seems like an obvious guy we take a look at being left handed and ranked really high out of high school. Sounds like he should be good to go in the fall.

O yeah 100%. I don’t know for sure but you’d think he made it to Arkansas because of his high school injury otherwise he might have been drafted.

6’5 hard throwing lefty? Yes please.

Damn, he was one of their top recruits last year. Coach must of already given the keys to Root and Beidelschies.
