6-3, 227-pound rising junior infielder Michael Anderson from Rhode Island committed to play baseball at Arkansas. Anderson was the primary first baseman for the Rams this year and led his team with 41 RBI. He broke the NCAA Division I record with 12 RBI in a game against Stonehill (Mass.) College in March, nearly hitting for the cycle by going 5 for 6 with 2 doubles, 1 triple, and 2 home runs.
