Bobby Wernes serves as Assistant Coach for University of Arkansas's Baseball program in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Wernes, who played two years for the Razorbacks under head coach Dave Van Horn, enters his sixth season as an assistant coach for the Arkansas baseball program in 2026. Wernes served as the program’s volunteer assistant coach for three seasons (2021-23) before he was promoted to a full-time role on the coaching staff prior to the 2024 campaign.
He works alongside Van Horn and assistant coach/recruiting coordinator Nate Thompson, assisting as a hitting and infield coach while also working with the Hogs’ catchers. Since Wernes joined the coaching staff, Arkansas has made two trips to the College World Series (2022 & 2025), clinched a pair of overall SEC titles (2021, 2023) and captured three SEC Western Division titles (2021, 2023, 2024). Highlighted by infielder Wehiwa Aloy (No. 31 overall) and outfielder Charles Davalan’s (No. 41 overall) first-round selections in the 2025 MLB Draft, Wernes has worked with 19 position players selected in the draft, including 16 taken in the first 10 rounds, since joining the staff in 2021. With Wernes’ help, Aloy became Arkansas’ third Golden Spikes Award winner in program history in 2025, joining outfielder Andrew Benintendi (2015) and pitcher Kevin Kopps (2021).
