FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas checked in at No. 10 in Baseball America’s preseason top 25. The SEC leads all conferences with 11 teams in the preseason top 25, including six programs in the top 10. It marks Arkansas’ third top 10 ranking of the preseason, as the Razorbacks were previously ranked No. 4 in Perfect Game’s preseason top 25 and No. 7 in D1Baseball’s preseason top 25. 10. Arkansas Last Season: 50-15 (20-10 SEC); Reached College World Series Final 2025 Ranking: No. 3 Coach (Record at school): Dave Van Horn (933-472, 24th season) Arkansas again found itself agonizingly close in 2025, eliminated by eventual national champion LSU on a misplayed ball to left field that ended another season spent operating at the sport’s highest tier. The program’s national title drought remains intact, a persistent absence amid otherwise sustained excellence under Dave Van Horn. The response was familiar. Arkansas reloaded, reset and positioned itself for another run, leaning on a roster built to contend even as the margin between breakthrough and heartbreak remains thin. Van Horn’s teams have long proven capable of absorbing losses and recalibrating quickly. The 2026 roster reflects that same confidence, constructed with the expectation of competing deep into June once again. READ ARKANSAS’ SEASON PREVIEW The Razorbacks, led by 24th-year head coach Dave Van Horn, begin the 2026 season against Oklahoma State at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13 in the Shriners Children’s College Showdown at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. In 2025, Arkansas went 50-15 overall and 20-10 in SEC play to clinch its sixth 20-win SEC campaign and make its 12th trip to Omaha in program history. Van Horn’s Hogs, the winningest team in the nation since the start of the 2017 campaign with 383 total victories, are the only SEC program, and one of only two programs in the country along with Southern Miss, to win 40-plus games in each of the last eight full seasons: 2017 (45), 2018 (48), 2019 (46), 2021 (50), 2022 (46), 2023 (43), 2024 (44) and 2025 (50).

LIMA, Peru – Former Razorback Mateo Pulcini needed two extra holes but rolled in par putts on both to win the 2026 Latin America Amateur Championship, played at Lima Golf Club in Lima, Peru. Current Razorback Erich Fortlage was atop the leaderboard during the final round and former Hog Segundo Oliva Pinto entered the final round as the leader. Pulcini (69-68-70-68=275 / -5) earns exemptions to this year’s The Masters, The U.S. Open, the Open Championship and the U.S. Amateur Championship. “We dream to play and to win this,” Pulcini said. “I have no words right now. I’m so happy, and so grateful for the people around me. “There were a lot of nerves coming in, but I tried to have fun, I tried to laugh,” Pulcini said. “Being in that position was something that I was dreaming about at the beginning of the week, so why not take advantage of that and enjoy it?” The Rio Cuarto, Argentina, native was never lower than sixth place throughout the four-day championship and started the final round tied for fourth at -3 through 54 holes. He opened with a bogey but bounced back with a birdie. He got to 1-under with a birdie on the par-4, 5th, only to give that shot back with a bogey on 6. Pulcini would make the turn at 1-under thanks to a birdie on the par-4, 8th. He opened the inward nine with a pair of pars before going birdie, bogey, birdie to propel him to the lead. He closed this round with four pars, which forced a playoff with his playing partner Virgillo Paz Valdes (Missouri). In the playoff, Pulcini found the right rough off the tee box. He took a mighty lash on his second send and somehow escaped the trees – joking to the TV commentator “99% air” – to about 40 yards short of the hole. He chipped to about 18 feet and sank his par putt to force a second playoff hole. Pulcini once again was on the right rough off the tee box but was in better position. His second shot was about 20 yards short of the green. He chipped it close and made his par putt to win the championship. Fortlage recorded his second top 10 finish. After tying for sixth last season, the sophomore from Paraguay tied for third with rounds of 71-66-70-70 for a 3-under-par 277. Fortlage was steady, carding 13 pars. He birdied the second hole but followed with a double bogey. He got back to even par for the day with a birdie on 10. He added a birdie on 13 to stand at 4-under and tied for the lead. However, he had a bogey on 15 and closed his round with three pars. Oliva Pinto finished fifth (72-69-64-73=278 / -2). He opened with a bogey but answered with a birdie on hole 2. However, that was his only birdie for the day. Razorback sophomore Gerardo Gómez tied for 26th (71-71-70-76=288 / =8) Pulcini is the third Razorback to win the LAAC, joining Álvaro Ortiz (2019) and Mateo Fernández de Oliveira (2023).
