Summary

As with so many, Tavian Josenberger has long dreamt of playing baseball on the biggest stage. But what makes his story unique is that his dream didn’t end just because he didn’t get to be a Razorback right out of the gate. And it’s given him some added perspective. He’s had success at the plate and in the field, and has emerged as a team leader in his first season in Fayetteville. It makes sense, then, that Josenberger is the tone setter atop the Razorbacks’ lineup. Batting leadoff, he’s among the team leaders in on-base percentage and leads the team in steals. He’s also made some spectacular plays prowling center field. With Josenberger setting the table, this team will have a chance to keep finding ways to win.
