Over Dave Van Horn’s 21 seasons with Arkansas, he has had some interesting names walk through his program, some staying longer than others.
Without wasting much time, here’s the all-name team for the Van Horn era in Fayetteville, decided based solely on name and not their statistics.
First Base: Haas Pratt (2003-2004)
A Rancho Bernardo, California, native, Pratt spent two seasons with the Razorbacks after two seasons with the Miami Hurricanes and played in 124 games. He batted .310 in his career and until 2018 held the record for most games played in a season with 68 (tied with Casey Rowlett). In April of 2004, Pratt hit .351 with 27 hits, nine doubles and 21 RBIs to spark Arkansas’ run to the College World Series. Pratt was drafted in 2004 by the Oakland Athletics in the 30th round.
Backup: Willie Schwanke (2013)
Second Base: Ben Tschepikow (2005-2009)
Tschepikow was a hometown recruit from Fayetteville High School and he spent five seasons with the Razorbacks. He played four seasons in full with his 2006 season being cut short by a back injury. Tschepikow batted .302 in his career and led the team in doubles in 2008 with 15. He had a decorated 2009 season, when he was named to the NCAA Norman Regional All-Tournament Team and the SEC All-Tournament Team. He was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the 17th round of the 2009 MLB Draft.
Backup: John Henry Marquardt (2005-2006)
Shortstop: Scott Hode (2002-2005)
A Crystal Lake, Illinois, native, Hode spent all four seasons in Fayetteville and played in 207 career games. In 2004, Hode batted .297, hit seven homers and recorded a team-high 53 RBIs on Van Horn’s first College World Series team. Hode ranks in the top 10 in career sacrifice hits and sacrifice flies in program history. He also had one of the all-time great walk-up songs, “Minnine the Moocher” by Cab Calloway. Baum Stadium would ring with “Hidee hidee hidee hidee hidee hidee hi” and “Hodee hodee hodee hodee hodee oh” before every Hode at-bat. Hode was drafted by Chicago Cubs in the 24th round of the 2005 MLB Draft.
Backup: Brett McAfee (2013-2015)
