Wehiwa Aloy was Hawaii’s gift to Arkansas baseball. Now, the Baltimore Orioles are hoping he can have the same level of success at the major-league level.
The Orioles selected the shortstop sensation with the 31st overall selection of the MLB Draft on Sunday night in Atlanta. All Aloy did in his final season in Fayetteville is capture the Golden Spikes Award and SEC Player of the Year honors while helping the Hogs get all the way to the College World Series.
Arkansas didn’t win that elusive first national title, but it wouldn’t have come as close as it did without Aloy’s magical bat. His projected slot value at No. 31 is $3.04 million, and the Orioles are hoping Sunday night is the very beginning of a much more lucrative marriage.
With right-hander Gage Wood being picked 5 spots earlier by the Philadelphia Phillies, Aloy became the 12th first-round pick in Arkansas baseball history. Aloy and Wood helped make Hogs baseball history, too, with this being the first draft that Arkansas has had 2 first-round picks.
Aloy’s selection was hailed by Arkansas baseball’s social media account with this post:
