FAYETTEVILLE -- While the Arkansas baseball team sorts out its new outfield and third baseman and its batting order and options at first base early this season, the Razorbacks should have a good support group on hand with its pitching staff.
Arkansas returns starting pitchers Keaton McKinney, Dominic Taccolini and James Teague from last year's College World Series team, as well as starter-closer Zach Jackson, a preseason-All-America, and a fresh crop of arms battling for innings.
Coach Dave Van Horn, speaking at the year's first meeting of the Swatters Club on Monday at the Hilton Garden Inn, said the pitching staff has looked solid in the team's early scrimmages.
