FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ baseball program is adding the equivalent of a five-star recruit in time for the 2020 season.
Robert Moore, a switch hitter who is rated the No. 41 high school senior in the country by Baseball America, announced last week that he will graduate early from Shawnee (Kan.) Mission East High School and enroll at Arkansas for the spring semester. Moore is a middle infielder.
“He can really, really defend - and that’s not to take away from his bat whatsoever, because he’s good at the plate - but he can really defend,” Arkansas assistant coach Nate Thompson said.
