FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas infielder Robert Moore picked up his fourth preseason All-America honor of the spring, earning second-team praise at second base from D1Baseball on Monday.

Moore slashed .283/.384/.558 with a team-leading 16 home runs and 53 RBI in 2021, his first full season with the Razorbacks. The Leawood, Kan., native established himself as one of college baseball’s premier middle infielders, earning All-SEC, Newcomer All-SEC and SEC All-Defensive praise after the year.

Moore also became the first Razorback in program history to earn freshman All-America status in multiple seasons as he landed on Baseball America’s freshman All-America team following the 2021 campaign. He was eligible due to the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

The Razorback second baseman has also garnered preseason All-America second-team praise from Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball Newspaper this spring. Perfect Game, meanwhile, tabbed him as a third-team preseason All-American at second base.

Moore and the Hogs, reigning SEC regular season and tournament champion, open the 2022 campaign – their 100th season of competition – against Illinois State on Feb. 18-20 at Baum-Walker Stadium.
