Hogs' skipper records another 20-win SEC campaign, unprecedented in league
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Razorbacks closed out yet another SEC Western Division title Friday night at Bllue Bell Park with a 6-3 victory over Texas A&M.
Van Horn was hired at Arkansas to build on the rich foundation laid by retired coach Norm Debryin. The Diamond Hogs alum took the program to Omaha in his second year in 2004, but came up just shy. In arguably the greatest single-season in conference history with the top four seeds going to SEC institutions, Arkansas is again in the mix for a national seed. Not only that, but the Razorbacks are in the middle of one of the best runs in conference history dating back before COVID-19 pandemic.No other active coach in the SEC has strung together more 20-win conference campaigns in a five-year window than Van Horn.
The only active coach who comes close to the run Van Horn's group is on would be Florida’s Kevin O’Sullivan. During the late 2000's, the Gators were considered the toast of the SEC and college baseball. O'Sullivan's teams produced five 20+ wins seasons in conference play from 2009-18, but not in a 5-year span.
