FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —Arkansas pitcher Cody Adcock and infielder Caleb Cali were selected on the third and final day of the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft.

Adcock was taken by the Cincinnati Reds in the 13th round (No. 378 overall), and Cali was picked up by the Seattle Mariners in the 16th round (No. 487 overall).

The duo joins pitcher Jaxon Wiggins of Roland (second round compensation, No. 68 overall — Chicago Cubs), pitcher Hunter Hollan (third round, No. 74 overall — Cincinnati), outfielder Tavian Josenberger (third round, No. 100 overall — Baltimore Orioles), outfielder Jace Bohrofen (sixth round, No. 184 — Toronto Blue Jays) and outfielder Jared Wegner (ninth round, No. 282 overall — New York Yankees) as part of the Razorbacks’ 2023 draft class.

Arkansas concluded this year’s MLB draft with seven selections and now boasts 259 overall draft selections in program history. Excluding 2020’s fiveround draft, the Hogs have had six or more players selected every year since 2016. Seven or more Razorbacks have heard their names called in the top 20 rounds for five consecutive years, excluding 2020.

Adcock, the 19th Arkansas pitcher drafted since 2019, made 26 appearances with eight starts and posted a 4-2 record with a 5.88 earnedrun average, 46 strikeouts and one save in 52 innings this past season. The Texarkana, Ark., native’s best outing of the year came in a start against Southeastern Conference foe Auburn on March 19 as he struck out a seasonbest six over six scoreless innings.

Cali, meanwhile, slashed .308/.412/.512 with nine home runs and 37 runs batted in during the 2023 season, his first season as a Razorback. The Montverde, Fla., product had 15 multi-hit games, including a teamleading five three-hit games, and 11 multi-RBI games. In SEC play, Cali was the Hogs’ best hitter, slashing a teambest .340/.439/.596 with six homers and 25 RBI in 26 games.

In addition to the seven draft selections, seven Razorback highschool signees — infielder Aidan Miller (first round, No. 27 overall — Philadelphia Phillies), outfielder Kendall George (first round, No. 36 overall — Los Angeles Dodgers), infielder Nazzan Zanetello (second round, No. 50 overall — Boston Red Sox), infielder Walker Martin (second round, No. 52 overall — San Francisco Giants), pitcher Dylan Questad (fifth round, No. 150 overall — Minnesota Twins), pitcher Barrett Kent (eighth round, No. 234 overall — Los Angeles Angels) and pitcher Gabe Gaeckle (20th round, No. 588 overall — Cincinnati) — were selected.
