With the most successful season of Dave Van Horn’s career at Arkansas now over, the coaching staff has already begun to look ahead at fielding next season’s roster. While there will be several familiar faces penciled into the starting lineup, the draft and graduation took a large percentage of the 2018 key contributors. Overall, 11 players were drafted and two more have exhausted their eligibility. Additionally, two signees were lost to the draft in a 2nd round catcher and a 24th round RHP.
We will no longer be seeing Grant Koch, Jared Gates, Carson Shaddy, Jax Biggers, Eric Cole or Luke Bonfield swinging the bats at Baum.
