Big news out of Arlington on Monday for the baseball team as Head Coach Darin Thomas announced he was resigning after a 15-39 season, which saw the worst winning percentage and the highest number of losses since 2007. Overall, 2022 ranks as the second worst in losses, tied with 1977 (2007 saw 40) and is the fourth worst winning percentage.
