Baseball Little Rock pitcher commits to Arkansas

pbos0owfih9uz7m7mstu


A familiar face to northwest Arkansas is coming home.

Rogers native and former Little Rock right-handed pitcher Jackson Wells has committed to play for the Razorbacks.

Wells helped the Trojans go on a Baton Rouge Regional run that caught the nation by storm and they completed the best finish in program history, winning eight of their final 10 games.

The highlight of Wells' individual career was in 2023 when he led the nation with the lowest earned run average (1.65), just ahead of future first overall pick and 2024 NL Rookie of the Year for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Paul Skenes (1.69).

In three seasons at Little Rock, Wells appeared in 47 games, 46 of them starts and three were complete outings, striking out 245 batters while walking 105 in 244.1 innings. In 2025, he posted a 3-8 record with a 5.36 ERA, 35 walks and 97 strikeouts in 87.1 innings.

Prior to his time with the Trojans, Wells played his true freshman season at Arkansas – Rich Mountain where he was named All-Region in 2022. Over the course of his four-year prep career at Rogers, Wells helped the Mounties win the 2021 6A state championship game and was selected Arkansas Gatorade Player of the Year that same season.

We are back. I'm already in postseason mode. We are most likely going to get a 2 seed from way outside of the region. Kansas has fallen to a 3 seed in most brackets and DBU is the only potential 2 seed that is close.

BA:

1. (4) Arkansas^ (SEC) 1. (13) Oregon State^ (Independent)
2. Miami (ACC) 2. Southern California (Big Ten)
3. Kansas (Big 12) 3. Kansas State (Big 12)
4. George Mason* (A10) 4. San Diego* (WCC)

D1:

Our new overlords at On3:

1. Arkansas (4)
2. Louisville
3. UTRGV*
4. Holy Cross*

1. Oregon State (13)
2. Arizona
3. Kentucky
4. San Diego*


The D1 bracket would be about as tough as it gets. DBU would be one of, if not the highest rated 2 seeds and KU would be one of the top 3 seeds. Then you draw a Missouri St who isn't that good this year, but has already beat us and isn't afraid of Baum.
