Summary

Sometimes, things are just out of your control. Jace Bohrofen knows that all too well. He had his senior season of high school baseball canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. His first school wasn’t a fit, so he transferred to Arkansas. And then, in his first year with the Razorbacks last season, he suffered a freak injury that cut into his playing time. Bohrofen has certainly made the most of his junior season in Fayetteville, leading the team in home runs and becoming a fixture in the Razorback lineup. His teammates have noticed, too. Bohrofen was voted a team captain this season, despite having just parts of one season under his belt on the Hill. It speaks volumes about who he is. If Bohrofen has set the tone, the rest of the team has followed suit, going to work with an eye on the ultimate prize.
