HawgBeat will be keeping an eye out for current players, as well as former (transfers) and future (signees) Razorbacks. Follow along below for updates as they happen…

2019 stats: .265/.457/.490, 5 2B, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 12 R, 15 BB/18 K

After beginning his career at TCU, Plunkett transferred to Arkansas and had to sit out the 2017 season. Over the last two years, he’s been a reserve or backup catcher for the Razorbacks. Despite playing in only seven games last season, Plunkett was drafted in the 37th round, but decided to return as a fifth-year senior.

He has played a lot more this year as Casey Opitz’s backup, with 16 starts and 25 total appearances. As a catcher, Plunkett is known for having a very strong arm. At the plate, he hits for power, as eight of his 15 career hits with the Razorbacks have been for extra bases.
