Wednesday's Arkansas Baseball Roster Tracker
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – As is the case most years, Razorback head coach Dave Van Horn and his staff are going to have to rebuild the roster this offseason. The task is tall, but Van Horn has had no issue completing it in the past.
The Hogs have 17 players classified as a junior, senior or graduate, and most of those players will not be part of the team next season.
Five Arkansas players have put their name in the transfer portal, and a few more names will likely hit the portal in the coming weeks. The Hogs will need to bring in plenty of players in the portal, especially at the catcher and outfield positions.
As of now, the Razorbacks have 17 commits in the 2022 class, according to Perfect Game. Some of those players will likely go into the MLB Draft and won’t make it to campus.
Here is a look at the roster turnover for the 2023 season:
Seniors w/ Covid Year Option:
Arkansas senior right-hander Connor Noland could return for another season in Fayetteville, but after a successful postseason, he will likely be drafted.
