Hogs coach Dave Van Horn admitted how good team was without ace pitcher
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — A lot of us were talking about how far the Arkansas Razorbacks could go this year back in February and March. We found out exactly how far that was in the NCAA Regional at Baum-Walker Stadium when Kansas State beat them Saturday night and
"You take Hagen Smith away from us and we’re just pretty average," Van Horn said after the season ended with a resounding 6-3 thud. "We fielded the ball really good this year. I think we probably fielded .982, which is probably in the top three or four in the country. We didn’t make very many mistakes. For three quarters of the season we didn’t walk anybody and that’s why we won a lot of games. We just played really solid baseball.
After the loss to Kansas State on Saturday night, Van Horn insisted the Razorbacks could win the three games they would have to take for a Super Regional. It sounded at times like he was trying to convince himself of that as much as anyone. "The hay was in the barn, even though his last couple outings weren’t great," Van Horn said. "If he had two great outings, that might’ve messed up some people but he’ll be one of the top 10 picks. Could be second, third, will probably be fifth or sixth will be my guess. I honestly just think he ran out of gas even though we rested him a lot this year. We kept an inning back from him, we were hoping to get it last night. Didn’t happen.
