Blake Simpson is Little Rock’s postseason spark plug at the plate
In the 2026 season, Blake Simpson emerged as one of Little Rock’s most dangerous bats, hitting .341 with a .405 on-base percentage and .496 slugging over 153 plate appearances, while driving in 30 runs and flashing big-moment power. He also earned Most Outstanding Player honors in Little Rock’s undefeated Hattiesburg Regional run, capped by a 3-for-4, two-RBI, three-run game and a ninth-inning two-run homer to stun Southern Miss. The appeal is obvious: reliable contact, clutch pop, and a calm postseason edge.
