Coming in at No. 8 are the Arkansas Razorbacks. Arkansas finished the season last year with a 46-21 record. They were very dominant last year, and will continue to dominate this year too

The Razorbacks are returning this year with several returning starters. Peyton Stovall and Brady Slavens are among two of the returning younger starters who should be able to make an immediate impact in the 2023 season.

A notable loss for the Arkansas Razorbacks this year is Chris Lanzilli. Chris led the team last year with a .326 batting average and over a .500 slug.
