Van Horn: Hogs 'fine' at catcher

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas baseball coach Dave Van Horn indicated Thursday he is not concerned about the catcher position for the 2023 season.

“We're fine,” Van Horn said when asked about recruiting the position.

The Razorbacks lost their only players who spent time at catcher this year, starter Michael Turner to expired eligibility and backup Dylan Leach via transfer to Missouri. Max Soliz, who was the team’s emergency catcher, will also transfer but has not announced a destination.

Arkansas has added two commitments at the position, Van Horn said, although only one has publicly announced. Parker Rowland, who played this year at Eastern Oklahoma State College and spent the 2020 and 2021 seasons at Arkansas State, committed June 29.
