Preston Knott brings steady on-base value and run production to UT Arlington
In the 2026 season, Preston Knott has been a reliable everyday outfielder for UT Arlington, posting a .248 batting average and .338 on-base percentage while showing he can handle a regular role. His calling card is consistency: he previously led Northwestern in walks (31 in 2025, 32 in 2024), doubles (17 in 2025), and runs scored (42 in 2025), which points to a disciplined, high-contact hitter who creates offense in multiple ways. At 5'8", he’s not a pure power bat, but he’s a smart fit for teams that value grit, plate discipline, and table-setting production.
