🏆 Directors’ Cup
🐗 And so much more!
🎙️ THE HOG POD
In this episode of The Hog Pod, we sit down with Razorback pitcher Zach Root just days before his first trip to Omaha. Root opens up about his journey to Arkansas, the mindset that’s fueled the Hogs’ postseason run, and why this team feels different. From haircut superstitions and late-night Taco Bell runs to embracing competition and shutting out the noise, Root shares the behind-the-scenes moments that have defined his season. He also reflects on his relationship with his dad, what makes this team so close-knit, and how they're staying loose—and locked in—as they prepare to face LSU on college baseball’s biggest stage.
