FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas baseball received a commitment from a junior college catcher on Sunday.
Charlie Welch, who played the shortened 2020 season at St. John’s River (Fla.) State Community College, announced in a post to his Instagram account he would be joining the Razorbacks for the 2021 season.
The Razorbacks signed graduate transfer catchers A.J. Lewis of Eastern Kentucky and Robert Emery from San Francisco in May when it appeared Casey Opitz, a two-year starter for the Razorbacks at catcher, would be selected in this year's MLB draft. Opitz was not drafted, however, leaving a logjam at the position.
