FAYETTEVILLE -- Dave Jorn has made his last leisurely walk to the mound for the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Jorn, a 20-year veteran in two stints with the Arkansas baseball program, is retiring from his role as pitching coach, the university announced on Monday.
Jorn's departure comes three seasons after the Razorbacks led the nation with a 1.89 earned run average, the lowest in college baseball since 1976, and two days after Arkansas concluded its 26-29 season with a 5.02 ERA, the worst in the SEC.
Jorn, 61, known for his calm demeanor and his work with 45 Arkansas pitchers who ended up getting drafted, was part of 18 NCAA Tournament teams and six College World Series teams during his time at Arkansas.
