Cayden Wallace was one of six batters to hit over ten home runs for the Razorbacks last season, knocking out 14 and driving in 44 while hitting .279 in 50 starts.
Zack Gregory was a solid run-producer as well, sending home 19 in 2021.
Zebulon Vermillion made 15 appearances on the mound, including six starts. Three of those starts were against SEC opponents. His best outing against an SEC foe was on March 20 against Alabama. Vermillion tossed 8.0 innings, allowed only one hit, and struck out four batters as the Hogs defeated Alabama, 9-1. Vermillion was key in Arkansas’ “redemption game”. Just one day prior to Vermillion’s start, the No. 1 Razorbacks were smacked by Alabama, 16-1, to open conference play.
The Razorbacks begin their quest for Omaha on Friday, February 18 against the Illinois State Redbirds. First pitch from Baum-Walker Stadium is set for 3 p.m.
