Senior shortstop Braxton Burnside is Arkansas' single-season home run leader and the glue that holds the Razorback softball team together. But it took her a while to find a home with the Hogs.

Without much interest from her dream school and a strong desire to play in the SEC, Burnside

Nate Thompson is considered by many to be perhaps the best hitting coach in NCAA baseball. During his time at Arkansas, the Razorbacks have led the SEC in nearly every offensive category and have produced first round talent such as Heston Kjerstad. His success started from unlikely beginnings, as Thompson never played a single baseball game in high school. But Thompson always knew he wanted to be a coach, so he climbed the coaching ranks and found himself among the best in the business. What brought
