Starting rotation becomes question mark for Arkansas
Following No. 3 Arkansas' big win over No. 16 Mississippi State on Sunday afternoon in Fayetteville, head coach Dave Van Horn said there's still a major concern with the Razorbacks' starting pitching. The pitching staff has almost become an achilles heel for the Razorbacks, who once had the nation's pitching staff this season, but have now allowed 7.2 runs per game over the last six contests. While ace Hagen Smith (9-0, 1.65 ERA) has been getting the job done on Friday nights — Arkansas is 13-0 when Smith pitches this year — the Razorbacks have received back-to-back bad outings from starters Brady Tygart (4-3, 3.86 ERA) and Mason Molina (3-2, 4.44 ERA).
