Zach Jackson Named Preseason All-American

Arkansas Razorbacks pitcher Zach Jackson earned his second preseason All-American honor this morning by Perfect Game. Jackson was also named a preseason All-American by Louisville Slugger.

The Arkansas Razorbacks baseball team has one of the best right handed pitchers in all of college baseball, and the nation has taken notice.

Zach Jackson has just received his second preseason All-American honor from Perfect Game. This comes on the heels of Jackson being named an All-American by Lousiville Slugger, and being tabbed as the 26th best overall player for the next MLB draft.

The Oklahoma native showed last year that he’s one of the best in the game, especially in the second half of the season. He posted a 5-1 record, earning 9 saves while having a 2.10 ERA. He was named first team All-SEC at the end of last season.

Jackson captured the nation’s attention in the Super Regional game in Fayetteville against Missouri State. He retired 11 straight batters, and helped the Razorbacks get a big game 3 win and earn a trip to Omaha for the College World Series.

As baseball season draws closer and closer, Hog fans are getting more and more excited. While the OmaHogs may have lost some great upper classmen and leaders on the field, they return a lot of talented guys.

Not to mention that Dave Van Horn has been killing it on the recruiting trail over the past few seasons. Fans are excited to see what kind of team will take the field this spring.

Baseball season starts on February 19th in Baum Stadium against Central Michigan. The Razorbacks play 16 of their first 19 games in Fayetteville this season. It should be a heck of a time.

Woo Pig.
