Wagner also added to bolster Arkansas baseball lineup

Arkansas got some bop back in its lineup on Friday with the addition of Tarleton State’s Jack Wagner.

With the exhausted eligibility of one Brady Slavens, the Arkansas baseball team was going to need an infusion of power.

Dave Van Horn thinks he’s found it in Jack Wagner.

Wagner, who most recently was hitting 15 home runs and slashing .337/.451/.692 while driving in 56 runs for Tarleton State, committed to the Diamond Hogs on Friday.

We already told you that Wagner was familiar with Tavian Josenberger, as the pair were teammates at Kansas before both ultimately hit the portal.

He primarily played corner outfield during his time at KU but played both first base and DH for Tarleton State.

His OPS of 1.143 was one of the tops in the Western Athletic Conference. It will be Wagner’s last year of eligibility.
