State of the Hogs: Morris gets pressure with No. 32

FAYETTEVILLE — Is there something to picking a number for a baseball player? Apparently so, if you ask Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn.

The man who wears No. 2 says he’s not superstitious, but he does put some thought into who wears what jersey for the Razorbacks baseball team.

Van Horn told the first Swatter’s Club group of the year on Wednesday that freshman lefthander Zack Morris didn’t end up with No. 32 by accident. And, it wasn’t an accident that Van Horn assigned the same number to lefty Matt Cronin three years ago.

“That’s a lefthander superstar pitcher’s number,” Van Horn said.
