FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Razorbacks pitching great Blaine Knight will make his return to the mound soon in the minor league,. Knight signed a new deal with the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday which brings him back to the sport for the first time in over a year.
Knight was selected in the third round of the 2018 MLB Draft by the Baltimore Orioles organization. The Bryant, Arkansas native spent over five seasons there before being released in March 2018. Although the right handed hurler had a terrific high school career, Knight was not drafted in 2015 and decided to play for Dave Van Horn's Razorbacks.
In limited pitches as a rookie in the minor league with the Aberdeen IronBirds, Knight earned four starts with an 0-1 record and a 2.61 ERA. In 2019, he was quickly promoted to the Frederick Keys after posting a 3-0 record with an exceptional 0.68 ERA with the Delmarva Shorebirds. However, his time with the Keys wasn't as successful as Knight struggled in 18 appearances with a 1-12 record and 6.18 ERA.
