Matt Dworsky gives UAPB a bat-first spark behind the plate
In the 2026 season, Arkansas-Pine Bluff catcher Matt Dworsky has been a productive lineup piece with a .318 average, .456 OBP, .865 OPS and 1 home run, while also showing enough contact quality to drive in runs and change games from the lower-middle of the order[1][4]. He’s a junior 6-foot, 210-pound backstop from Deerfield, Illinois, and the stat line plus game recaps suggest a steady, competitive hitter who can add pop and occasional clutch damage, including a homer in the April 11, 2026 comeback effort[4][8][9].
