Arkansas’ August baseball recruiting momentum continued with two commits over two days to bring the total to four in the past week.
Junior left-handed pitcher and slugger Colin Fisher (6-3, 195 pounds) of Noble, Okla., committed Thursday, a day after the pledge of sophomore prospect Sam Lee (5-10, 150) of Montgomery (Texas) Lake Creek.
The other two commits this week have been 2024 infielder-outfielder Brenton Clark of Texarkana Pleasant Grove and pitcher/infielder Mark Brissey, a freshman from Batesville who became the program’s first 2025 pledge.
Clark and Brissey both play for Arkansas Sticks head coach Chase Brewster.
“Arkansas really has a lot of momentum going in recruiting and there are a lot of kids who want to go ahead and commit and be a part of an elite baseball program and part of what they have going in Fayetteville,” Brewster said.
Fisher, whose dad played baseball at Oklahoma, is also his school’s quarterback and the third member in his family to be a Noble quarterback.
He struck out 14 batters in his team’s state tournament opener last season.
“I am excited and blessed to announce my commitment to Arkansas Baseball,” Fisher said on Twitter. “I would like to thank God, my coaches, and all of my family that have helped me along the way. Go Hogs!!!”
Perfect Game got a chance to see Lee this summer filed this assessment of his skills.
“Sam Lee had himself a great game on all sides of the ball,” Perfect Game’s scouting report opined. “Lee is a quick twitch athlete with a 5-foot-11, 155-pound frame and already wiry present strength built throughout.
“He can scoot on the basepaths as he turned in a 4.19 second time to first from the right side in his first at bat for an infield single on a ball to the backside of the third baseman.
“He squared up some contact later and finished a perfect 3-of-3... He really doesn’t swing through hittable pitches and looks to spray liners all over. Lee also had possibly the defensive play of the game with an over the shoulder grab in the top of the first inning to rob what would have been extra bases...can run, defend and has a great hitting tool.”
