FAYETTEVILLE — Matt Goodheart has heard all of the jokes from teammates encouraging him to get in the weight room more often.
Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn estimates that Goodheart, now hitting in the 3-hole in the Razorbacks' lineup, has hit 6-7 balls either off the wall or off the top of the wall this season.
He's not had that happen lately, though.
The Magnolia, Ark., native has hit four home runs in his first season at Arkansas and three have come in the Razorbacks' last nine games. Prior to the recent surge, Goodheart felt like he was experiencing a power drought.
