South Side Bee Branch baseball star and Arkansas shortstop signee Easton Swofford (5-10, 170) is eager to get his senior season underway Monday.
That will happen when his Hornets face Jonesboro, which features a fellow Razorbacks signee in pitcher Josh Hyneman, and Marion in a pair of games in Jonesboro.
“I can’t wait. (It's) senior year and we are going to have a really good team,” Swofford said. “It will be two good games to start us off. I am also really excited about Arkansas playing again, and they will be fun to watch.”
Swofford is the top prospect in Arkansas and a preseason high school All-American by Perfect Game, and ranked 109th on Perfect Game’s Top 300 Major League Baseball draft board.
