Razorbacks open fall baseball practice with open gates, position battles

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas baseball fans are being invited back to the ballpark this fall.

After a year of closed practices due to the covid-19 pandemic, the Razorbacks will begin fall practice Thursday with the gates open to anyone who wants to attend.

The team is scheduled to scrimmage Thursday at 3:30 p.m. and Friday at 6:30 p.m. Both scrimmages will last around five innings.

Dave Van Horn, the 20th-year Arkansas coach, said a crowd helps prepare his team.

“It gives a little bit of a feel of a real game with people in the stands,” Van Horn said.
