One more item of interest from Dave Van Horn today.

Arkansas’ coach said there is a possibility the Razorbacks could bring in the fences at Baum Stadium after the season.

For now, Baum Stadium is one of the bigger parks in the SEC. The fence is 320 feet from home plate down the lines, 375 feet in the alleys and 400 feet in center field. In essence, it’s not known as a home run hitting paradise. Van Horn believes it’s an issue that hurts the Razorbacks on the recruiting trail when they go head-to-head with other schools for home run hitters.

He couldn’t name names, but used one example Monday. He said Alabama and Arkansas are both recruiting a prospect. He knows what Alabama is telling him: The prospect can hit home runs at Alabama. He can’t hit home runs at Arkansas.

“If we want to really match the stadium’s that we play in, we might need to address that when this season is over on possibly bringing in the fences and the alleys a little bit,” Van Horn said. “I think Ole Miss has done it. Kentucky is short. Just off the top of my head there’s probably five or six stadium’s that have made some adjustments. Tennessee, they didn’t bring their fences in, they took home plate out about 10, 15 feet so it’s shorter. It might help us a little bit.”

Of course, a big park wasn’t the reason Arkansas was swept at Alabama last weekend. But it’s an interesting topic.
