Arkansas freshman Robert Moore was selected on Tuesday as the Perfect Game national player of the week after his big performance in a four-game sweep of Gonzaga.
The second baseman from Leawood, Kan., hit .667 (8 of 12) with four runs and nine RBI for the No. 5 Razorbacks. He also hit his first collegiate home run and a double, drove in at least two runs in all four games and made one of the weekend’s top defensive plays with an underhand glove flip to retire a runner.
Moore, 17, is one of the youngest players in college baseball as an early enrollee and the son of Kansas City Royals general manager Dayton Moore.
