Arkansas Razorbacks Baseball Best Players of All Time

The University of Arkansas Razorbacks baseball team is one of the most successful programs in college sports. Since 1897, they have been a member of both the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Southeastern Conference (SEC), competing for championships every year. Under head coach Dave Van Horn, the program has become even more successful with multiple SEC titles and College World Series appearances to their credit since he took over in 2003. With 75 consecutive seasons under their belt, all eyes are on what this storied program will do next.

1. Dave Van Horn

Career

• 1980–1981: McLennan CC
• 1982: Arkansas
• Position(s): Infielder

• 1994: Central Missouri State
• 1995–1997: Northwestern State

Van Horn is the current head coach of Arkansas, having been appointed in December 2016. He previously served as an infielder and coaching assistant for the Razorbacks from 1985 to 1988.

Vanhorn led Central Missouri State to back-to-back NCAA Division I baseball championships in 1995 and 1996, becoming just the second coach in NCAA history (after Bob Knight) to lead two teams to national titles in consecutive seasons.

After leaving Northwestern State following the 1997 season, Van Horn spent four years as hitting coach for the Texas Rangers before joining Arkansas' staff in 2001. 

His tenure with Arkansas has seen him guide his team to a .653 winning percentage, making him one of only six coaches ever with 700 or more wins at any level of play.

In September 2017, it was announced that Van Horn would become head coach of the Razorbacks effective immediately after being given a three-year contract extension running through 2021–22.

As Coach Dave’s batting average approaches 1 million (.990), he can now add “Head Baseball Coach” on his resume.

In 2018, he led Minor League Baseball with 216 strikeouts and also finished 3rd in ERA among all pitchers with at least 175 innings pitched (1.79). His strikeout totals are even more impressive when you consider that he throws mostly fastballs: 83% fastball on average.

His success as a starter thus far may be due to his ability to mix things up - often going from an extreme offspeed pitch early on in an at bat (.9% slider) before settling back into his fastball later (.8%).

 he is still very dangerous at bats even when not 100%. His 73 home runs are second all time on the Red Sox behind only Jacoby Ellsbury's 105 homers and should give any pitcher nightmares if they have to face him.

Forsythe is currently a second baseman for the Dodgers organization but could very well end up playing elsewhere in 2020 as he nears free agency age (35).

In 2019, he was traded to the Chiba Lotte Marines of NPB and has been fairly successful there. 

He is 34 years old and likely has several more seasons left in him if things stay stable with his current team; however, it's possible that an MLB club could sign him at any time if they're looking for a veteran pitcher to help out their rotation or bullpen.

After posting a record of 8-19 as a starter for the D'Backs over three seasons, he was traded to the Dodgers in 2015 and reworked into their bullpen where he had more success. 

In 2017 Bolsinger signed with Toronto and had an outstanding year, going 17-8 with 3.79 ERA and 170 strikeouts in 227 innings pitched (both career highs).

He has since signed with the Tampa Bay Rays and will begin playing in 2018. Blake Parker throws right-handed and bats left-handed Blake Parker is a veteran left-handed pitcher with 16 wins and 11 losses on his MLB record. 

Blake has had some trouble holding runners off the base during batting practice, as he has allowed 43 stolen bases in 73 attempts over the course of his career.

Despite this flaw, Blake's strikeouts are high (383) and he gets ground balls at a rate of 56%. The Chicago Cubs traded for him in 2012 and after one season sent him to Seattle for Michael Saunders, which proved to be a good move as both players have been successful since then. 

Allen Webster was also acquired by Seattle from Cleveland on that day but failed to live up to expectations so it could be argued that trading for Parker was better overall despite the initial struggles.( Source: ESPN ).

33. Andy Wilkins

Andy Wilkins is a 34-year-old first baseman who has played for the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, Brewers' triple-A affiliates. He was drafted by Milwaukee in the fourth round of the 2008 MLB draft and made his major league debut with them in 2013.

Since then he has been playing for Colorado Springs where he hit .269/.339/.457 with 26 home runs and 81 RBI in 115 games played this season.

Andy Wilkins is a strong hitter who can do damage both from left field and at first base, making him an important part of any team's lineup Andy Wilkins is a former outfielder for the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers. 

He was drafted by the White Sox in the third round of the 2007 MLB draft, and made his debut with them in 2014.

He also threw out 44% of attempted base stealers during his time as an outfielder, which is impressive given how often runners try to take advantage of poor defensive plays from outfielders.

Overall, Andy Wilkins had a solid but unspectacular career in Major League Baseball that ended prematurely due to injury – he’ll be missed by fans of both teams he played for.
