This is the time of year when expectations soar for the best college baseball programs.
Arkansas is an annual top 25 team and no doubt has its fans thinking College World Series. Never mind that coaches can’t tell you their starting rotation or their batting order.
Players know this is the time of year to grind through practices and fight the chill of February and March. They have to do the mundane tasks of taking batting practice and infield and go over their technique in fine detail with the newfangled metrics now available to college teams.
That doesn’t stop them from setting goals or speaking to expectations.
