In Thursday night’s titanic struggle between Arkansas and Texas A&M, neither of the SEC West leaders knocked in a run until the 11th inning, when the Razorbacks walked an Aggie runner home with the bases loaded to end the game 1-0. That’s about as tough a loss to swallow as there is. Arkansas starter Hagen Smith produced his typically great six innings of work on the mound, allowing zero runs and just two hits. Even the Razorback relief arms held up well, but ultimately they gave up one late run that sealed the deal. After the loss, head coach Dave Van Horn spoke on the ending, noting just how...

The Arkansas Razorbacks are getting ready to finish up their regular season with three games on the road against the Texas A&M Aggies. Ahead of that game, Dave Van Horn praised the Aggies for their power at the top of the lineup. Van Horn began by praising Braden Montgomery, a player who he tried to recruit to Arkansas on multiple occasions but was unable to do so. “Those guys are incredible,” Dave Van Horn said. “Montgomery, obviously, he was a transfer from Stanford. We really tried to get him. We wanted him. Hated to see him go there. We recruited him out of high school, and thought we were...

Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn decided to keep one of his top hitters, Payton Holt, as the lead-off guy in the Razorback lineup in a move that has worked to great success thus far. It’s actually been two Peytons sharing leadoff duties throughout the last couple months, as Holt is currently the guy leading off the lineup while Peyton Stovall has also hit first for a few games. Both of those players top the Razorback roster in terms of batting average, each hitting north of .320 on the season. So, at his press conference ahead of Arkansas’ final regular season series at Texas A&M, head coach ...

After scoring a series victory over Mississippi State last weekend, Arkansas‘ quest for one last SEC West title comes down to this weekend’s series against No. 5 Texas A&M. The Aggies are running second place behind the Razorbacks in the SEC West as the two top clubs meet in College Station for the final series of the regular season. The Hogs are currently 19-8 in league play compared to A&M’s 17-10 mark, meaning the home team will have to sweep Arkansas to win the division outright. For these schools and the five others in the SEC West, 2024 will be the final season of divisional splits in SE...

The SEC is adding two new teams, Texas and Oklahoma, following the 2024 season. With that, baseball is moving away from divisions starting with the 2025 season. It’s a move that Arkansas Razorbacks head coach Dave Van Horn isn’t thrilled with. Van Horn explained that typically the SEC follows an MLB model, and this is a diversion from that. On top of that, he sees real issues with competitiveness if the conference doesn’t have divisions. “I made it well known that I don’t like it,” Dave Van Horn said. “I don’t like top to bottom, one through 16. Baseball is divisions. Look at the big leagues. ...

Over the weekend, Dave Van Horn led the Arkansas Razorbacks to another series win at home this season. This one was over Mississippi State and wrapped up the regular season at home for the Razorbacks. Following that game, Van Horn praised how the team has played at home throughout the season. “It’s been a great season at home as far as the wins and losses,” Dave Van Horn said. “Played solid. Played really good defense — played defense everywhere but we played three quarters of our games here. We’ve taken care of the ball.” Arkansas was able to win the final home series despite two of the team’...

With the Arkansas Razorbacks‘ win on Sunday over the Mississippi State Bulldogs, the Razorbacks won another key SEC series. However, head coach Dave Van Horn left the series frustrated with the performance of the rotation. Following the series, Van Horn shared that he feels Arkansas needs to figure out its rotation late in the season and might make a change. “That’s obviously the major concern,” Dave Van Horn said. “The win’s awesome but now we have to really figure this thing out and we’ve got some things we’re thinking about that we’ll probably make a decision if we’re going to start some di...

Gabe Gaeckle is not a typical freshman and Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn does not treat him as such. After Arkansas’ 7-5 win over Mississippi State on Saturday, Van Horn evaluated Gaeckle’s performance on the mound. “That was pretty good now,” Van Horn said. “We kind of looked at each other in the dugout, going, “You know this kid still is a freshman.’ I don’t look at him like that anymore. I look at him as just one of our best pitchers and he gave us a chance to stay in the game by getting through that [seventh] inning. “There in the in the eighth he just lost his command a little bit. He...

In one of the biggest series of the weekend, Dave Van Horn and the Arkansas Razorbacks welcome the Mississippi State Bulldogs to town for a three-game series this weekend. With potential postseason implications and the two teams competing in the SEC regular season standings, there’s plenty on the line. It’s also a series that Van Horn knows the Razorbacks are going to have their hands full in trying to score against pitchers like Jurrangelo Cijntje and Khal Stephen. “Well, they’re both really hard throwers,” Dave Van Horn said. “You know, you’ve got to stay in the zone. They’re awfully good. T...

The Arkansas Razorbacks are looking to bounce back from a series loss when they take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs. To do that, Dave Van Horn knows he’s going to need a strong effort out of his starting pitching. As he revealed ahead of the weekend series, the Razorbacks are going to be sticking with the same pitching rotation this weekend. “After yesterday’s workout, we’re gonna stick to the same rotation,” Dave Van Horn said. The Arkansas rotation saw Hagen Smith start on Friday night last week at Kentucky. That was the one game Arkansas won during the series, and he went six innings whi...
