Luke Sartori is coming back to Lincoln.
After spending one season at Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College, the Lincoln Southwest graduate announced his commitment to the Nebraska baseball program Saturday.
Sartori is a 6-foot, 190-pound outfielder.
His freshman season at Hutchinson got off to a hot start before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. In 19 games, Sartori hit .455 with four homers, 18 RBIs and 23 runs scored. He also stole four bases.
Sartori received second-team Super-State honors during his senior year at Southwest.
His announcement comes two days after Husker junior outfielder Aaron Palensky announced his intentions to sign with the New York Yankees. Sartori is the third player to announce his committing to the Huskers for the 2020-21 school year, joining pitchers Chance Hroch (New Mexico State) and Cam Wynne (Texas A&M). Wynne is a Lincoln High graduate.
