There are three phases to baseball: pitching, hitting and defense. Being good at two can win you some games, but not a championship.
From talking to the Arkansas coaching staff, it could be that the Razorbacks are good everywhere, especially the defense.
The crucial part of defense is the middle — catcher, second base, shortstop and center field. Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn expects strength at all four positions.
Most of it was expected, but no one thought Casey Opitz would be back for another year at catcher. He was expected to go high in the draft before MLB capped it at just five rounds last year.
