#5 - Jacob Nesbit - 3B

R-So. | R/R | 6-0 | 180

Coppell, Texas / Coppell HS

2019: 64 games/61 starts, .255/.333/.344, 10 2B, 3 HR, 42 RBI, 26 BB/56 K, 7-10 SB

This time last year, Nesbit was an unknown redshirt freshman coming off a strong summer performance in the Northwoods League.

Going into his redshirt sophomore season, though, he’s a returning starter who head coach Dave Van Horn is counting on to make a jump offensively.

Nesbit was the Razorbacks’ starting third baseman for all but five games in 2019 and got off to a hot start at the plate, but was the weak link in the lineup in SEC and postseason play.
