Arkansas No. 8 in Baseball America Preseason Poll
Baseball America, one of the foremost authorities in college baseball, ranks Arkansas at No. 8 in its preseason poll released this morning. The Omahogs are one of six SEC teams in their Top Ten. Like the D1Baseball poll released last week, which had the Hogs at #2, the Texas Longhorns hold down the preseason top spot.
The Hogs likely fell a few spots in the BA poll after news last week that Peyton Pallette would miss the season due to a UCL injury in his pitching arm. He is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery.
Arkansas is scheduled to face six teams ranked in the preseason Top 25. The first of those matchups will come Saturday, February 26 when the Razorbacks take on #7 Stanford in the Karbach Round Rock Classic. That game has a scheduled first pitch of 6:00pm at Dell Diamond.
Dave Van Horn’s squad opens the season three weeks from Friday at home against Illinois State.
