After being decimated by the MLB Draft, Arkansas has more questions swirling around its pitching staff than usual this time of year.

Not only are the Razorbacks tasked with replacing nearly two-thirds of their innings thanks to six pitchers getting drafted and two others exhausting their eligibility, but they have no proven starters on the 2026 roster.

The situation is understandably not as sexy as the last few years, when Arkansas had more clear-cut options for their rotation. There are no popular Friday night candidates like Hagen Smith, Hunter Hollan, Mason Molina, Zach Root or Landon Beidelschies.
