Fayetteville Regional Preview: Hogs protect turf versus big bats
Fayetteville Regional Superlatives
Most Exciting Player: Chase Davis, OF, Arizona. The junior Davis (.369/.496/.757) is having a monster year with 21 homers and 74 RBIs and forms a potent duo with first baseman Kiko Romero (.347/442/.711), who has 19 home runs and 86 RBI of his own. Davis has also carved a name for himself with highlight-reel catches in left field. He’s projected as a first-round selection in July.
Best Hitter: Brayden Taylor, 3B, TCU. Taylor is the all-time home run leader at TCU with 45 and has a chance to go in the first round in the draft. Taylor has been consistent throughout his TCU career, batting over .300 with an OPS of over 1.000 each year. He’s hit for more power this year with 19 home runs and is the centerpiece of a powerful, aggressive TCU lineup.
Best Defensive Player: Nik McClaughry, SS, Arizona. McClaughry won the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year award. McClaughry paced the conference with 162 defensive assists and posted a dazzling .983 fielding percentage on 229 total chances.
Best Pitcher: Hagen Smith, LHP, Arkansas. He’s a lefty with premium stuff, shown by the 102 strikeouts in 67 innings. He’s been the Friday starter and the shutdown stopper. He can fill any role, and his versatility adds to his value.
X-Factor: Brady Tygart, RHP, Arkansas. A preseason all-American as a closer, Tygart was injured and missed much of the season. He’s been slowly returning and has done so starting five games, going an inning longer in the first four. His SEC Tournament start wasn’t as sharp, leading to consideration of using him in relief. Whatever role he plays, Tygart is a big part of Arkansas’s postseason success.
Best Starting Rotation: Arkansas. If the Hogs send Smith, Hunter Hollan, and Tygart out there in succession, that trio stacks up with any in the country. Throughout the season, all have started and all have relieved, as has dependable vet Will McEntire.
Best Bullpen: Santa Clara. While the Razorbacks have the best arms, we really aren’t sure which of their best pitchers will start or relieve. As a result, we’ll profile Santa Clara here. August Souza (1-2, 1.69, 5 svs) is a dependable option who can extend when needed. Blake Hammond (6-1, 2.35) is another reliable reliever. Flamethrower Skyler Hales is the relief ace and a legitimate pro prospect.
Best Offensive Team: Arizona. The Wildcats are slashing .320/.406/552 as a team, and eight of the top ten batters (by ABs) are batting over .300. Led by Davis and Romero, the Wildcats’ offense has overcome some inconsistent pitching to score double-digits in 25 games this season.
Best Defensive Team: Arkansas. The Razorbacks are fielding .981 as a team and are particularly strong up the middle with catcher Parker Rowland, shortstop John Bolton, and center fielder Tavian Josenberger.
No. 1 Seed Win Probability (1-10): 7. Arkansas has been so tough at home, and while TCU looks like a scary two-seed, the Hogs just continue to find ways to win. They won’t wow you offensively, but it’s been effective regardless of the competition.

I enjoy this tourney to start the year. Wish it was on an actual sports channel. Awesome we get to see OKST again so soon after that epic regional.
100th time is the charm! We gone to the ship!

This is probably the deepest bullpen we will have had in quite a while. The lineup is a complete unknown though. Hopefully, Neville and Jones can live up to the hype as well as Robinette. It would be great if they did, so they could be anchors for the vaunted '23 class.

We asked every program in the country who they thought would win the 2023 Men's College World Series.
261 responded, and there was a clear favorite:
@LSUBaseball: 139
@Vol_Baseball: 26
@RazorbackBSB: 19
@GatorsBB: 14
@AggieBaseball: 10

If we're trying to win the National Championship, that can't be our pitching dynamic going forward. We need more guys to be consistently reliable.

In that case, I completely disagree. This is easily an Omaha team on paper. If last year's team can make the semis, I'm not ruling anything out.
