Arkansas signs catcher transfer from San Francisco

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas has added a graduate-transfer catcher for the 2021 season.

Robert Emery (6-0, 215 pounds) has signed a letter of intent to play for the Razorbacks. Emery spent four seasons at the University of San Francisco in his hometown after playing for Dartmouth as a freshman.

Emery earned a sixth and final season of eligibility when the NCAA restored a blanket year of eligibility to baseball players whose 2020 season was cut short by the covid-19 pandemic. He will be immediately eligible at Arkansas.

Emery led San Francisco with a .449 batting average before this year’s season was cut short and had a hit in the Dons’ final 13 games.
