Nice work. I use to visit Hognation frequently for my baseball news, back 5 years or so, but it's no longer active. This is good stuff.

Losing bonnin sucks... Weird story there but I really thought he had a great chance to be a weekend starter next season

All of this great info, but the shitty, fascist mods won’t sticky.

Jheremy Brown who works for Perfect Game tweeted this:

#Arkansas fans have to be happy with the way the 2020 class is shaping up. Land another big piece 2020 SS Michael Brooks; versatile & athletic defender, handles the barrel and pop continues to come along. #WPS. #51 per @PerfectGameUSA

The Hogs dip into South Florida and pick up another big time commitment for the 2020 class. He makes basically our third top 50 INF for the 2020 class along with Cayden Wallace and Robert Moore. He looks to be a potential big time hitter with developing power.

What makes this even better is that we went into an area we have not really had a presence in before except for a 2019 commit and a state with multiple elite programs and took one of the top players. That is big time for Nate Thompson. Brooks is the 12th commit for the class of 2020 and the 2020 class is currently ranked third on PG. The two teams ahead of us are Vandy (always have the top class on PG before the draft) and Miami. You have to wonder if we could catch them by capitalizing on the 2018 season.

I've found that baseball season tickets are the most worth it since you get chairbacks for every game instead of having to stand up the whole game, watch from the hog pen or pay a ridiculous amount for marked up reserved seats to popular games.

Parking is a lot less of a hassle too.
