The 2025 Arkansas Razorbacks baseball team represents the University of Arkansas in the 2025 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Razorbacks play their home games at Baum–Walker Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Dave Van Horn is in his 23rd season as head coach of the Razorbacks.

On May 19, shortstop Wehiwa Aloy was named the SEC Player of the Year. Aloy, along with pitcher Zach Root, outfielder Charles Davalan, and DH Kuhio Aloy were named to the 1st Team All-SEC squad, while infielder Cam Kozeal was placed on the 2nd Team. On June 11, Wehiwa Aloy was named 1st team All-American by Perfect Game, while Zach Root and Charles Davalan were placed on the 2nd team. On June 21, Wehiwa Aloy became the third Razorback to win the Golden Spikes Award, which is given to the best player in the nation.

Arkansas earned the overall No. 3 national seed in the NCAA Baseball Tournament and hosted a Regional. On June 1, Arkansas defeated Creighton to win the Fayetteville Regional championship and earned the right to host a Super Regional. Catcher Ryder Helfrick was named the Fayetteville Regional MVP. On June 7 and 8, Arkansas defeated Tennessee twice to win the Fayettevile Super Regional championship and earned a spot in the 2025 College World Series (CWS) in Omaha, Nebraska. Helfrick also earned MVP honors of the Fayetteville Super Regional.

On June 14 at the CWS, Arkansas lost their first game to LSU, 4–1, sending the Razorbacks to the losers bracket. On June 16, Arkansas junior pitcher Gage Wood threw the third no-hitter in College World Series history, and the first since 1960, beating Murray State 3–0. Wood went 9 complete innings with a CWS-record 19 strikeouts, allowed 0 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, and the only Murray State player allowed on base was due to a hit batter in the 8th inning. On June 17, Arkansas defeated UCLA 7–3 to advance to the CWS semi-finals versus LSU. Arkansas lost to LSU 6–5 on June 18, ending their season.

Previous season

Arkansas won the SEC Western Division, but failed to get out of a home regional for the second straight year, losing to Southeast Missouri State to end its season.[2]
