The Arkansas baseball team secured its first transfer portal addition Friday in former BYU Cougar Kuhio Aloy, who could help the Razorbacks in more way than one way.

Now the third Hawaii-native on the Diamond Hogs' roster and the brother of Arkansas shortstop Wehiwa Aloy, Kuhio was a Big 12 All-Freshman Team selection as a first-year designated hitter this spring at BYU. He told HawgBeat that he was recruited to do more than just hit, though.

Of Aloy's 50 starts with BYU, 46 were at designated hitter and four were at first base. He led the Big 12 in sacrifice flies, was second on BYU in hits (53), and was third in doubles and multiple-RBI games (9). He was also only one of two Cougars to appear in all 52 games.
