Brady Slavens has emotional moment at Baum-Walker Stadium after Arkansas eliminated
Arkansas senior infielder Brady Slavens didn’t expect his college career to end like it did this weekend.
The Razorbacks were the No. 3 overall seed in the country heading into the tournament but were eliminated at the Fayetteville Regional by TCU.
After Monday’s game versus the Horned Frogs that send them packing from the tournament, Slavens took some time walking around the outfield wall at Baum-Walker Stadium. During his walk, he would slap his hand against the outfield wall against the years of 2021, 2022 and 2023 for where they were memorialized.
The moment was captured on camera by Jack Allen of KATV, the ABC affiliate in Little Rock.
TCU won Monday’s game, 12-4, to advance to the Super Regional Round. Slavens finished the game 1-for-4 with eight putouts at first base in the field.
He finished the year with a .277 batting average and .340 on-base percentage with nine home runs, 42 RBI, 14 doubles and 42 runs scored.
Slavens was with the Razorbacks the past three seasons after spending his freshman year at Wichita State and then the next year at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kan.

After defeating Brady Slavens and Arkansas, TCU to host Super Regional
TCU won all three of its games at the Fayetteville Regional to advance to the Super Regional round of the NCAA Tournament. The Horned Frogs will play the No. 14 overall seed Indiana State.
However, the Sycamores will not host the regional in Terre Haute, Ind., despite being the higher seed.
Due to the Special Olympics being held this upcoming weekend and potential staff and hotel shortages that come with it, Indiana State decided it would not be able to host the Super Regional.
“There are a variety of factors that come into play with the competition for resources and staff,” the statement said. “With the potential for multiple large-scale events occurring in the area simultaneously and due to NCAA limitations on hotel distance from the field, there is a lack of hotel space to handle the accommodations required to house the visiting team, the support staff for games, and the ESPN production crew that would be in attendance.”
