Majorleague baseball player Torii Hunter committed $ 500, 000 on Friday afternoon toward a proposed $ 9 million University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff baseball complex, which will bear his name.

UAPB Athletic Director Skip Perkins said Hunter closed the deal Friday morning.

Perkins said the complex will be named the Torii Hunter Baseball Complex.

The donation is the largest ever to the school’s athletics department from a single person, Perkins said.
