FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas pitcher Travis Hester will transfer to Baylor, he announced in a tweet Monday.
Hester, a right hander, entered the NCAA's transfer portal earlier this year. He grew up in College Station, Texas, about 90 miles from the Baylor campus.
"I can’t wait to get to Waco and get work!” Hester wrote. “Sic ‘em!”
Hester, who was one of 24 pitchers named to Collegiate Baseball Newspaper’s All-America first team as a high school senior, never pitched in two seasons at Arkansas. He redshirted in 2019 and was not on the team's 35-man roster this year.
