Dane Small is a steady, situational bat with veteran presence for UAPB
In the 2026 season, Dane Small has been a reliable graduate-student outfielder for Arkansas-Pine Bluff, appearing in the Golden Lions’ lineup and delivering timely contact hitting, including multi-RBI games against Stephen F. Austin and Texas Southern. He stands out less for flash than for value: he puts the ball in play, draws walks, and fits as a low-drama, high-utility veteran who can help extend innings and move runners. For a team wanting grit, experience, and a dependable table-setter, he looks like a solid fit.
