FAYETTEVILLE — When the NCAA approved a longer preseason for college baseball teams beginning this year, it also increased the likelihood teams would deal with more frigid weather in their lead up to the season.
Such is this case for the Arkansas Razorbacks this week. The temperature barely made it above the freezing mark over the weekend when the team was scheduled to have its second preseason scrimmage. Temperatures are forecast to be even colder this week, and there is a chance for snow during the upcoming weekend.
Baseball weather, this is not.
Fortunately for the Razorbacks, they have sufficient resources to practice on days like these, notably the 52,000-square foot Fowler Family Training Center.
