FAYETTEVILLE — A quick glance around the field is all it takes for Arkansas players and coaches to know what kind of team they have entering the 2018 season.
Blaine Knight turned down big-league money to head a loaded pitching staff with Keaton McKinney and Isaiah Campbell back in the fold alongside a skilled group of young arms.
Dominic Fletcher, named a freshman All-American following a 12-homer season, anchors the outfield. Grant Koch, a D1Baseball preseason All-American and Arkansas' leading returning home run hitter, manages the gifted rotation as a second-year captain.
It's easy to understand why praise has poured in from far and wide in the last month.
