FAYETTEVILLE -- Despite losing his top offensive performers from last season, Arkansas Coach Dave Van Horn said he thinks the Razorbacks can be just as efficient at the plate in 2016.
Van Horn said his team displayed balance on offense during fall practices that ended this week. Among the notables were outfielder Luke Bonfield, who batted. 500 in the four-game fall scrimmage series, and outfielder Chad Spanberger, who hit two home runs.
