I'd like to be the guy that was the missing piece that helped us win it at the end of the year.

That was what Hobbs told me coming in and we still feel like that's an absolute possibility if not the expectation.

So we're all trying to win that last game.

And I think if the end of the year

we were raising something over ahead,

I wouldn't be surprised. I'm Bo Mattingly and this episode is made possible by our friend at Bold Vision, Saracen Resort, and

South by Northwest Hospitality.

The Razorback pitching staff is one of the best in the country.

And a one two three start from Mason Molina in a weekend of strikeouts for this Arkansas pitching staff.

A piece of that dominance is the lefty Texas Tech transfer, Mason Molina.

Struck him out. Number 10 for Molina, and he molled him down here to Arlington.

After dominating the big 12, Molina was looking to step up his game.

Dozens of schools in the running, Arkansas gave him a pitch he couldn't turn down.

You have 10 months until you are on the draft board.

How well can we get you from where you are here

to be the best version of yourself there?

And they laid it out, and that was kind of the separator.

Pitching coach Matt Hobbs knew when they landed Ballina. The left he would be an immediate contributor.

When a guy like Mason goes into the portal you're like, wow, if we could get that guy,

that would solve a lot of problems.

If you're going out and trying to get somebody like that,

it's because he's going to start.
