Pro-Line Athletic National Hitter of the Week

The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) released the Pro-Line Athletic National Player of the Week awards for the period ending March 10. Arkansas senior infielder/outfielder Aaron Murphree was named National Hitter of the Week, while Arizona senior lefthander David Coulon was named National Pitcher of the Week.

Murphree produced one of the most amazing weeks in Arkansas baseball history with eight home runs in six games last week. He hit .524 (11 for 24) for the week with 15 RBIs and 13 runs scored, while slugging 1.667 with a .600 on-base percentage. He also stole a team-high three bases. The Weatherford, Texas, native has homered in a school-record six-straight games and has 12 home runs on the season, which is halfway to Arkansas' single-season home run record of 24. Murphree had two-multiple home run games this week with two home runs in the second game of a doubleheader with South Dakota State on March 5 and three against Siena on March 7.
