Undrafted Razorback Signs With Yankees | Little Rock News

Maika Niu, a former Arkansas Razorback outfielder who went undrafted, just signed a free agent deal with the New York Yankees — and he’s not alone in this path, following in the footsteps of last year’s Razorback signee Logan Maxwell. After transferring from Marshall and playing shortstop before settling into center field at Arkansas, Niu delivered a strong stat line: .274 AVG, 10 HR, 51 RBI, and 14 doubles in 61 games. His breakout performance caught the Yankees’ eye, making him the only Razorback to sign an undrafted deal this year — proof that hard work and talent can still lead to the majors, even without a draft pick.
