Jackson Rutledge is leaving the Arkansas baseball program, according to a post on his Twitter account.

Rutledge has not pitched for Arkansas since walking two batters and throwing three wild pitches without recording an out during an April 29 game against Alabama.
He did not travel with the Razorbacks to LSU or Georgia earlier this month or to the SEC Tournament.
“I haven’t seen him pitch good, so I can’t throw him out there,” Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said May 7 when asked about Rutledge.
Rutledge started well, but struggled as the year went along. His ERA in SEC games was 27.00 and he recorded just two outs in three appearances.
