With the beginning of the season just a month away, Prep Baseball Report has released the initial rankings for Arkansas Class of 2015. The Natural State has historically produced quality arms and 2015 is no different, with the top 7 ranked players coming off the mound.

RHP Gray Fenter (West Memphis HS) is the head of the class and is ranked 14^th nationally. His fastball ranges from 89-93 mph and he shows a sharp breaking ball with 11-to-5 action that looks like a fastball out of his hand. Grey is committed to Mississippi State. Drew Tyler MIF (Fayetteville HS) is ranked 8^th, and is the highest ranked position player in the state. Tyler is a versatile infielder that has a compact swing with fast bat speed. He is committed to Arkansas.

Rounding out the top 10 are LHP Kacey Murphy (Heritage HS), RHP Daniel Sprinkle (White Hall HS), RHP Andy Pagnozzi (Fayetteville HS),  RHP Ty Harpenau (Southside HS), RHP Blaine Knight (Bryant HS), C Grant Koch (Fayetteville HS) and MIF Cody Scroggins (Bentonville HS).
Arkansas’s 2015 class is considered to be one of the most talented groups to come from the state in recent memory, with more than 50 players making their college commitments. They have signed to several NCAA Division I conferences including: 10 players to the SEC, 7 to the Sun Belt, 5 to the Southland, 2 to the Big 12, and 1 to the American.
