The 2010 Arkansas Razorbacks baseball team represented the University of Arkansas in baseball at the Division I level in the NCAA for the 2010 season. Dave van Horn, a former Razorback player, was the coach in his sixth year at his alma mater. The 2010 club hosted and won the Fayetteville Regional, but fell in the Tempe Super Regional to the top-seeded Arizona State Sun Devils. The team was led by two All-Americans, Brett Eibner and Zack Cox.
The Razorbacks return several key members of the 2009 Arkansas Razorbacks baseball team that went to the 2009 College World Series. A key returner is Andy Wilkins, who was named the Norman Regional Most Outstanding Player. The first baseman Wilkins brings a team-high .319 average to the table, also chipping in 19 home runs and 58 RBI in 2009. Freshman All-American Zack Cox returns to play third base for the Razorbacks. He hit .266 with 39 RBI and freshman school record 13 home runs. Center fielder Brett Eibner, a native of The Woodlands, Texas, also brings power with 12 long balls and 34 RBI. Eibner also returns as a pitcher, going 5–5 in 17 games with a 5.00 ERA. Senior pitcher Mike Bolsinger returns from the bullpen, bringing a great slider and 2.99 ERA to the Razorbacks.

The Razorbacks began the 2010 campaign on February 19 with a 10–2 victory over the Ball State Cardinals. Hogs starter Mike Bolsinger earned the win, and Andy Wilkins provided two hits, 2 RBI, and a solo home run. Every Razorback starting player recorded at least a base hit in the contest. It was a different story in game two, however, as Ball State took a lead in the first inning and did not relinquish it. Geoffrey Davenport would continue after the shaky start to pitch effectively for four innings, including striking out the side in the fourth. The Razorbacks left twelve runners on base, and committed four defensive errors. Game three was initially delayed fifteen minutes due to rain, but once the game started, Brett Eibner and Drew Smyly pitched well. Designated hitter Monk Kreder, a junior college transfer native to Keller, Texas, collected three hits. Six different Razorbacks scored in the 9–3 victory.
