Top 10 pitchers in the 2023 NCAA D-I baseball tournament
5. Hagen Smith, Arkansas
Smith has been impressive throughout the 2023 season for Arkansas, earning first-team All-SEC honors. He ranks highly in most major pitching metrics, and is in the top 30 in the country when it comes to ERA (2.69) and strikeouts (102). The 6-foot-3, 215-pound southpaw also ranks third when it comes to strikeouts per nine innings. Just a sophomore, Smith helped lead the Razorbacks to a 41-16 record this season and a No. 3 seed to play host in the Fayetteville region. The Hogs will look to make it four College World Series appearances in six years behind Smith鈥檚 dominant arm.
