A look at the teams in Fayetteville:
No. 1 Arkansas
Record: 42-17, second in the SEC West Division.
Tournament history: the Razorbacks are making their 28th appearance, including 14 of the past 15 years. The Hogs have made eight College World Series trips; the last in 2015.
Coach: Dave Van Horn, 592-341 in 15 seasons.
Key player: catcher Grant Koch, Arkansas' lone All-SEC First Team selection, is a semifinalist for the Johnny Bench Award. Slumping of late, the Razorbacks need to get Koch — one of the best hitting catchers in the country — going again.
