FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas baseball All-American Jeff King has been elected to the Southwest Conference Hall of Fame.
King will be inducted with eight other individuals during a luncheon on Nov. 18 at the Brown-Lupton University Union on the TCU campus in Fort Worth, Texas.
King played third base for the Razorbacks from 1984-86. He was voted to All-America teams all three seasons and to the All-Southwest Conference team as a sophomore and junior.
His 82 RBI in 1985 are the single-season school record and his .372 career batting average ranks third at Arkansas.
In 1986, King was selected first overall in the MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates — the only No.
