FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas left-handed pitcher Hunter Dietz is on the Razorbacks' 30-man roster for this weekend's series at Florida after he suffered a freak injury Wednesday.
A resistance band mount came loose and struck Dietz above one of his eyes, according to his father, Michael Dietz, who said the injury required 10 stitches.
“Grateful [it] didn’t hit his eye,” Michael Dietz wrote on social media. “Whenever he finally gets his chance I know he will do great. He has worked so hard.”
Hunter Dietz was warming up early during the Razorbacks' 4-0 victory over Little Rock on Wednesday at Baum-Walker Stadium.
