FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas picked up a commitment from a Las Vegas infielder Wednesday.
Jesse Pierce (6-2, 170 pounds) chose the Razorbacks after visiting Baum Stadium last weekend. Pierce, who projects as a third baseman or shortstop, plays at Arbor View High School and spent the summer with the Arkansas Sticks travel team that includes nine players committed to the Razorbacks.
"I walked in and the first thing they did was show me the field, and I just lost all words," Pierce said of his visit. "I was speechless. My mom came with me and she had the same feeling as well.
