Arkansas baseball is heating up at exactly the right time. After a rocky stretch that had fans wondering if the Hogs would be hitting the road for the NCAA Tournament, the Razorbacks are making a serious push to host a regional at Baum-Walker Stadium.

With a 34-18 overall record and 15-12 mark in SEC play, Dave Van Horn's squad just took two of three from Oklahoma in a critical conference series. That momentum has shifted the conversation around this team. Back in early April, it seemed like Arkansas was destined to be a two-seed in someone else's regional. Now? There's real hope they could be packing Baum-Walker for the postseason.

The Razorbacks close the regular season with a road trip to Kentucky, and how they perform there could seal their fate. The question is: have they done enough to crack the top 16 seeds and earn the right to stay home?

History offers some clues. Looking at regional hosts over the past decade, the numbers show that teams with Arkansas' profile—strong RPI, quality SEC wins, and a top-25 finish in the polls—have typically secured hosting duties. The Hogs check those boxes, but the margin for error is slim with Selection Monday just two weeks away.

For Arkansas fans, the message is simple: keep believing. This team is building a case, series by series, that Baum-Walker deserves to be a postseason destination once again.
