Manny Marin, a standout shortstop who spent two seasons at the University of Tennessee, has officially committed to the University of Arkansas, a move he revealed on Instagram with a short video that captured his excitement.
A New Chapter for Manny Marin
During his tenure with the Vols, Marin started the majority of games, posting a .291 batting average, nine home runs and 43 RBIs while also delivering a .976 fielding percentage after committing just five errors.
He entered the transfer portal on June 5 and announced his decision on June 30, marking a swift transition that underscores the growing fluidity of player movement in college baseball.
Across SEC play Marin posted a .254 average with a .686 OPS, while his overall collegiate numbers include 35 runs scored in 55 games, a .356 on‑base percentage and a .401 slugging percentage in his freshman season.
Ranked as the No. 88 prospect nationally in the Class of 2024 and the 23rd‑best shortstop in the country, Marin brings a blend of offensive production and defensive reliability that Arkansas hopes will bolster its lineup.
The addition of Marin follows a recruiting pipeline that already includes ties to Florida high schools, and his arrival is expected to deepen the Razorbacks’ infield options as they prepare for the upcoming season.
