FAYETTEVILLE â Even with a top-ranked team and already stellar resume, Dave Van Horn knew Arkansas could take it to another level.
There have been concerns about starting pitching all year, but the veteran coach also felt like the Razorbacksâ vaunted offense could improve with a better approach at the plate.
The result has been an NCAA-leading 240 walks to go along with an NCAA-leading 74 home runs. At its current pace, Arkansas has an excellent chance to break - and possibly shatter - both single-season school records, which were set in 1985 (361) and 2018 (98), respectively.
