Arkansas’s high-contact, high-OBP infield spark with pop and bounce-back upside
In the 2026 season, Nolan Souza showed the profile Arkansas loves: a left-handed infielder who produced a .272/.360/.402 line with 61 hits, 15 doubles, 4 homers and 35 RBI, while bringing steady on-base skills and gap power. He’s also shown he can handle pressure and adversity, coming back from a season-ending shoulder/labrum injury in 2025 and returning as a key lineup piece. Why care? He’s the kind of hitter who can lengthen an order, make consistent contact, and keep innings alive—useful for any team that values toughness, versatility, and a little sneaky thump.
