TheUniversity of Arkansas Razorbacks baseball team is a member of theNational Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and theSoutheastern Conference (SEC), and is coached byDave Van Horn. The program started in 1897, and is in its 102nd season of play (77th consecutive) in 2024. Arkansas is one of only four schools in the SEC to turn a profit from its baseball program in recent years, along with SEC rivalsLSU,Mississippi State andOle Miss.[2]
The Razorbacks have been to 32NCAA tournaments and twelveCollege World Series:1979,1985,1987,1989,2004,2009,2012,2015,2018,2019,2022,2025.
The Razorbacks play baseball home games inBaum-Walker Stadium at George Cole Field, which holds 11,749.[3] Arkansas was the first program in thenation to have an average attendance over 8,000 for the course of the season.[4] Baum Stadium has hosted NCAA regionals in 1999, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2023. The Arkansas baseball team also hosted an NCAA Super Regional in 2004 against Florida State, in 2015 against Missouri State, in 2018 against South Carolina, in 2019 against Ole Miss, in 2021 against North Carolina State, and again in 2025 against Tennessee. One of the games in the 2015 Super Regional series against Missouri State set the all-time stadium attendance mark at 12,167. The first game of the South Carolina Super Regional series had 11, 722 in attendance making it the 3rd highest attended game in Baum stadium history. Baum stadium was voted top ballpark in collegiate baseball by Baseball America, 20 years after claiming the top spot in a 1998 poll.[5]
In 2007, Arkansas led the nation in attendance, with 8,069 attendees per game, over 700 more per game than second-placeLSU.[4]Mississippi State, another SEC school, was third with an average of 6,795 per game.[3]
Before Baum Stadium was built, the Razorbacks played on the originalGeorge Cole Field from 1975 to 1995, named for former all-conferencequarterback,shortstop and athletic directorGeorge Cole.[4] The field was next toJohn McDonnell Field, home of the outdoortrack and field team, and has since been turned into the practice field for the football team.[4]
Arkansas first fielded a baseball team from 1897 to 1930. The modern era of Razorbacks baseball began in 1947, under Deke Brackett. Bill Ferrell led the team from 1950 to 1965, and Wayne Robbins took over from 1966 to 1969.
In 1970, Cole hired 28-year-oldNorm DeBriyn after another man took the job but resigned after only one day. DeBriyn inherited a program that played at a dilapidated stadium at theWashington County Fairgrounds, and whose paperwork was contained in a single manila folder. He immediately set about upgrading the program. Within three years, he had the Razorbacks in the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history. He then persuaded athletic directorFrank Broyles to build a new on-campus stadium, George Cole Field.[6][7] Arkansas' baseball program has won six conference championships, two in the Southwest Conference in 1989 and 1990, and four in the Southeastern Conference in 1999, 2004, 2021, and 2023. They have also won two conference tournament titles, the first in 1985 as a member of the SWC, the second in 2021 in the SEC. In addition to those championships, the Razorbacks have also won nine SEC West Division championships in 1999, 2004, 2007, 2011, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2024. In Arkansas' eleven College World Series appearances they have finished as national runners-up twice, in 1979 and 2018.
DeBriyn's 10th team put the Razorbacks on the national map. The Razorbacks won 49 games, lost 15, and finished second in theSouthwest Conference (SWC). The Hogs defeatedGeorge Washington,Florida, andDelaware twice to move out of the East Regional (played at Seminole Stadium inTallahassee, Florida). The Razorbacks then went toOmaha and defeatedPepperdine, 5–4 and anArizona Wildcats club, with a youngTerry Francona, 10–3. A match-up with SWC champion Texas loomed next for the Razorbacks. The Hogs had gone 1–4 against theLonghorns up to this point in the season. The Razorbacks prevailed, 9–4, and earned a contest withCal State Fullerton for a championship. Texas was eliminated. Arkansas lost twice to the Titans, 13–10, and 2–1, to give the trophy to Cal State Fullerton. FreshmanKevin McReynolds was named to the all-tournament team as an outfielder, along with Steve Krueger atpitcher, Larry Wallace atshortstop, and Marc Brumble as anoutfielder.
Arkansas came into the South regional hot winning twelve straight games (last loss against fellow CWS teamMississippi State), and winning the SWC tournament with the help of tourney-MVPDave Patterson. A 20–13 victory overEastern Kentucky started things off on the right foot for the Hogs. Wins againstGeorge Mason,hometownFSU, andGeorgia Tech would push the Hogs to their second College World Series.
Arkansas arrived inOmaha in as dramatic fashion as they left it. The Diamond Hogs defeatedthe Gamecocks of South Carolina in a 14inning affair, 1–0, but Arkansas would lose to Mississippi State three days later, and fall to the loser's bracket. Facing elimination, the Razorbacks crushedStanford 10–4, eliminating theCardinal from the College World Series. Now a win away from the Championship series withMiami (Fl), Arkansas had to faceSouthwest Conference rivalTexas.
Said Razorback third basemanJeff King of Texas, "We figured we would meet them again."[8] The Hogs were 4–1 against the Longhorns in 1985, including two wins in the Southwest Conference Tournament. Arkansas lead the game 7–0, but the Longhorns battled back and sent the game to extra innings.[9] Texas' Bill Bates hit a leadoff triple in the bottom of the tenth inning with the score tied 7–7.[9] Arkansas coachNorm DeBriyn opted to intentionally walk the bases full and pull theinfield in.[9] Doug Hodo then hit a single past the infielders, allowing Bates to score and the Horns to move on, 8–7 in ten innings.[9] The situation was oddly similar to the last time the Hogs reached the College World Series, except Texas was 4–1 against the Hogs in 1979 (including two SWC tournament wins), and Arkansas prevailed in the 1979 CWS match up.
Freshman third basemanJeff King and junior outfielderRalph Kraus were named to the All-College World Series team.
Arkansas was 51–16 in 1987, and finished in fifth place at the CWS. The Hogs finished second in both the SWC regular season and postseason tournament. The Regional was played inHuntsville, Alabama, and the Razorbacks defeatedMiddle Tennessee,West Virginia, andClemson (twice) in order to play in Omaha. Texas, who Arkansas had gone a lowly 1–4 against during the season and now was ranked #1 nationally, loomed in aRosenblatt Stadium showdown.
Texas defeated Arkansas, 13–6, but Arkansas rebounded with a win against future SEC foeGeorgia, eliminating theBulldogs. Georgia was led bypitcherDerek Lilliquist (14–2), who had 19HR and 60RBI entering Omaha.[10] Another future SEC opponent was on the horizon, this time in the form ofTigers from LSU. The Tigers came out on top, 5–2, but were eliminated two days later, with Texas eliminated a day later.
Ten years after the successful 1979 campaign, the Razorbacks were again headed toOmaha. First, the 51–16 Razorbacks played their way through the Northwest Regional, losing first toLe Moyne before defeatingGeorge Washington,Illinois,Arizona State, and Le Moyne to move to the College World Series.
Once in the College World Series, the Diamond Hogs metWichita State. The Shockers had actually been defeated by the Razorbacks 5–1 inFayetteville, which was the Razorbacks' first game of the season. Arkansas lost 3–1 on June 2, and had to stave off elimination againstNorth Carolina. The Tar Heels were eliminated, and Arkansas had another shot at the Shockers, who had lost toFlorida State and was now fighting to remain in Omaha, as one more loss would eliminate them.
Wichita State defeatedNorm DeBriyn's Razorbacks, 8–4, eliminating them. The finish was good for fifth place in the CWS. Wichita State would go on to win the National Championship, fighting off elimination three times more. Six of the 11 all-CWS team were members of the Wichita State Shockers, includingEric Wedge. Arkansas Razorbacks outfielderTroy Eklund was elected to theAll-American team.
Arkansas won the SEC Western Division, a portion of the SEC crown, and visited the College World Series again in 2004.[11]
The Hogs were picked to finish last in the SEC,[12] but instead was the #1 seed in the SEC Tournament.[13] The Diamond Hogs lost toLuke Hochevar and theVolunteers of Tennessee, 6–8 in 13 innings.[14] Kyle Norrid ofTennessee hit a three-rundouble in the 12th inning, but the Hogs returned with four straightsingles to keep the game going.[14] Chris Kemp hit a game-winning double the next inning, and Craig Cobb retired the Razorbacks to earn the save. The game was the third of the day to extend into extra innings.[14] The Hogs then defeatedOle Miss and Tennessee by the counts of 4–3[15] and 4–1[16] respectively, before losing to South Carolina, 2–3.[17] Arkansas went into the ninth down 3–0, and loaded the bases with no outs. Jake Dugger drove in a run with a single. Following a strikeout, Brett Hagedorn added to the Razorbacks score with asacrifice fly.[17] Scott Hode grounded out for out number three, and the rally fell short.[17] The Gamecocks would win the championship by defeating Vanderbilt.[18] Arkansas finished third in the SEC tournament.
The Razorbacks began play in theirhome stadium in the Fayetteville Regional. Arkansas defeatedLe Moyne first, but lost toWichita State 4–1. The Razorbacks had not seen the last of the Shockers, though, and after a 10–7 win over Missouri, defeated them two times on June 6, 2004, to advance to the Super Regionals.
Arkansas had to playFlorida State twice to move on toOmaha, but the games were again atBaum Stadium. The Diamond Hogs prevailed, 7–4 and 4–2 and went on to Omaha.
Arkansas was an eight seed in 2004, and for the fourth time in five Hog appearances, Arkansas' first game in Omaha was against theTexas Longhorns. #1 Texas prevailed 13–2, and the Razorbacks were one loss from elimination. TheArizona Wildcats would bump the Razorbacks fromRosenblatt Stadium in their next game, 7–2.
Arkansas began hot in 2009, starting the year at 10–2 including back-to-back wins over #1 Arizona State that set Baum Stadium attendance records. The Hogs luck changed entering SEC play, as they dropped series against Vanderbilt, Georgia, and LSU, and were swept by Alabama and Ole Miss to end the year. Limping into the2009 SEC baseball tournament, the Hogs defeated Florida twice, but were bumped from the tournament by Vanderbilt. The Razorbacks were the #2 seed in the Norman Regional, hosted by theOklahoma Sooners.
The Hogs defeated Washington State in game 1 in Norman, setting up a match up with #9 Oklahoma, who the Hogs had beaten at home a month earlier on a Brett Eibner walk-off bases-loaded walk. Arkansas collected 20 hits in a 17–6 win over the Sooners, setting up super regional berth with another win. Razorback Andy Wilkins went 5–5 in the following game with two doubles, two home runs, four runs scored and five RBI in an 11–0 rout. The win pushed the Hogs to a meeting with Florida State inDick Howser Stadium.
The Hogs last met Florida State in the 2004 Fayetteville Super Regional, with the Hogs advancing to Omaha. Arkansas scored five runs in the last three innings to win game 1, and Andrew Darr propelled the Hogs to the College World Series on his two-run walk-off double in the bottom of the ninth.
The Razorbacks opened the College World Series in game 1 against #1 national seed Cal State Fullerton. Dallas Keuchel pitched well, with Zack Cox and Andy Wilkins both homering in a resounding 10–6 win. The win set a rematch with LSU, who had beaten Arkansas in a hard-fought series earlier in the year. LSU got a first-inning home run from pitcher Brett Eibner, and the Hogs bats fell silent in a 9–1 loss. Both fighting for their tournament lives, Arkansas met Virginia in an elimination game. The Razorbacks offense was again quiet, and the Hogs were down to their last strike when Brett Eibner homered to keep the Razorbacks in Omaha. The Hogs would prevail after another timely Andrew Darr double in the tenth inning. A rematch with LSU sat on the horizon, and the drained Arkansas pitching staff struggled. Closer Stephen Richards started the game for the Hogs, who were losing 4–0 by the third inning. After an error and a wild pitch, the Razorbacks gave up runs in six separate innings, and lost 14–5. The Hogs finished tied with Arizona State (who Arkansas defeated twice in the regular season) for third place.
Arkansas began the 2012 season with high expectations, including a consensus top ten ranking and D. J. Baxendale, Nolan Sanburn, Dominic Ficociello, andRyne Stanek receiving preseason All-America honors.[19][20] The team began the season playing well in non-conference games, and finished with a 16–14 SEC record. After a quick two losses at the SEC tournament, it was announced the Hogs would play in the Houston Regional, hosted byRice University.[21] Arkansas defeated theSam Houston State Bearkats twice and Rice once to advance to theWaco, Texas, Super Regional againstBaylor. The Razorbacks dropped the first game to Baylor, 8–1.[22] Facing elimination, Arkansas won game 2 after consecutivehit by pitches with the bases loaded gave the Hogs the tying and winning runs.[23] Arkansas won game 3 when Jake Wise drove inBrian Anderson with a double in the 10th inning, pushing across the game's only run and sending the Hogs to Omaha.[24]
Arkansas won their first game of the 2012 College World Series, an 8–1 victory overKent State Golden Flashes. D. J. Baxendale pitched into the seventh inning, with Joe Serrano, Brian Anderson, Bo Bigham, and Jake Wise all collecting multiple hits. Two nights later the Razorbacks faced SEC foe and two-time defending champion theSouth Carolina Gamecocks, who came into the game with a 22-game postseason win streak. A Dominic Ficociello RBI in the first inning gave Arkansas a 1–0 lead, as they never trailed, winning a 2–1 pitcher's duel. Stanek pitched six innings, allowing just one run on three hits. RelieverBarrett Astin pitched the final three innings allowing no runs, and just one hit.[25]
Arkansas was not expected to make it to the College World Series in 2015, especially after a slow start to the season left the Razorbacks sitting at .500 heading into April. But the Razorbacks caught fire behind SEC and national player of the yearAndrew Benintendi and won both the Stillwater Regional and Fayetteville Super Regional to advance to Omaha for the eighth time and fourth time under Van Horn.
In the first game, Arkansas got a stellar pitching performance from Trey Killian, but normally lights-out closer Zach Jackson didn't have his best stuff andVirginia came back and forced the Razorbacks into an elimination game, beating them 5–3.
Arkansas then faced No. 5 national seed Miami, and fell behind 2–0 when Jacob Heyward hit a 2-run shot off reliever Jackson Lowery, who had just been inserted for Keaton McKinney. The Razorbacks rallied twice to tie the game at 2–2 and 3–3, but lost 4–3 when Heyward hit a walk-off single. It was the first time since 2004 that they failed to win a game in Omaha.
TheRazorbacks entered Omaha with a 44–19 record, co-champions of the SEC West with Ole Miss, and having won the Fayetteville Regional and Super Regional at home in Baum Stadium. The team set a school record for home wins, going 34–4 at Baum.[26] Beginning the year as a top ten team, the Razorbacks never left that spot throughout the season. Arkansas previously played four of the other seven teams in Omaha, compiling a 4–5 record against them prior to the CWS.
Arkansas defeated Texas in its opening game 11–5 behind pitcher Blaine Knight, who improved to 13–0 on the year. A three-hour rain delay marred the contest. It then went on to beat Texas Tech 7–4 in a game pushed back a day because of weather, and then eliminated defending national champion Florida 5–2 to earn a spot in the championship series against Oregon State. Arkansas won the first game of the championship series 4–1,[27] but Oregon State completed a comeback 5–3 win in game two thanks in large part to a dropped foul ball by Arkansas with two outs in the 9th inning. The Oregon State batter hit a home run two pitches later to win the game, and the Beavers would win decisively in game three, 5-0.[28] The game two loss is considered one of the most heart-breaking losses in program history.
