Arkansas’ Wehiwa Aloy, whose first name means “The Prized One,” has been one of college baseball’s most electrifying all-around players in 2025.
Aloy, named the SEC Player of the Year, is slashing a team-leading .355/.440/.686 with 20 home runs, tied for fourth most in program history, and 64 RBI through 59 games this season. The junior shortstop, who has started every game, is on his way to turning in one of the best offensive campaigns in program history, leading the Hogs in nearly every major category, including batting average, slugging percentage, on-base plus slugging (1.126), runs scored (77), hits (86), doubles (18), home runs, extra-base hits (39) and total bases (166).
Aloy, named finalist for the Brooks Wallace Award and a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy, has also dazzled defensively with just five errors in 205 total chances (.976 fielding percentage).
