Arkansas baseball second baseman Peyton Stovall was selected by the Cincinnati Reds with the 117th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2024 MLB Draft Monday.

Stovall slashed .340/.409/.535 with nine home runs and 38 RBIs during the 2024 season. He missed the first 12 games of the season with a broken foot.
The Louisiana native led Arkansas in base hits (68), doubles (12), batting average (.340), slugging percentage (.535) and on-base plus slugging (.944). He recorded a team-leading 19 multi-hit games and committed just two errors in 160 total chances.
Stovall became the 34th All-American in program history after earning third-team recognition from the American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings.
MLB Pipeline ranked Stovall as the 77th-best prospect in the 2024 MLB Draft. He was a potential first-round pick coming out of high school in 2021, but he turned down any potential professional suitors with a strong commitment to Arkansas.
The second baseman burst onto the scene as a freshman in 2022 and made 51 starts, with 48 coming at first base. He hit .295 with six home runs, and his sophomore campaign was cut short due to a season-ending shoulder injury after 38 games.
