FAYETTEVILLE -- Matt Hobbs' recall of a midweek series at Baum Stadium years ago helped land him on Dave Van Horn's staff at the University of Arkansas as a pitching coach six years later.
Hobbs spoke with enthusiasm, candor and comedy about his history with Van Horn and the two games between the Razorbacks and Missouri -- where he was serving as pitching coach at his alma mater -- on May 1-2, 2012.
Career track Wake Forest pitching coach (2015-2018); Missouri pitching coach (2011-2014); University of San Francisco pitching coach (2010), California-San Diego associate head coach, pitching coach and recruiting coordinator (2007-2009), Santa Barbara City College pitching coach (2005-2006), Chapman University pitchers and catchers (2004)
"I'm about 1-20 in my career against Coach Van Horn as a player and a coach, so we have a little bit of history," Hobbs said Wednesday during his introductory news conference at Baum Stadium.
