HOUSTON — Arkansas junior shortstop Casey Martin was a consensus preseason All-American and is expected to be a high draft choice in the upcoming MLB Draft, but he’ll likely be taking a seat on the bench Sunday.
Dave Van Horn, the Razorbacks' coach, said he will likely sit Martin for the game against Baylor at the Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic. The game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
Martin was moved from the No. 4 position to the No. 6 position in the batting order, but went 0-of-5 with four strikeouts in Arkansas' 8-7 loss to Texas on Saturday.
