A look at four key personnel questions for Arizona baseball as the Wildcats gear up for their opener against No. 2 Tennessee in Scottsdale.
Ari Koslow Special to the Arizona Daily Star The Arizona baseball team hosted its annual"Meet the Team" event Saturday afternoon at Hi Corbett Field. The Wildcats scrimmaged for seven innings as Team Blue took on Team Red. Here's a look at four personnel developments as Arizona gears up for its opener Friday against Tennessee in Scottsdale:
“He did a great job,” Hale said. “He has been mixing his pitches and he works fast, which helps the defense.”“Everything felt really good,” Kent said. “I was commanding the cutter, the curveball. I was commanding every single pitch really well. Those seven strikeouts are all throwing fastballs and getting ahead in counts.”
“They’ll play probably evenly the first couple of weeks,” Hale said. “Then that thing kind of takes its own life. One of the two guys will probably run away with it.” No matter who takes control of the starting job, Hale confirmed he won’t have one of them catch every game, which Susac nearly did the past two seasons.
“He has been swinging the bat well,” Hale said. “He is playing right field and doing a good job out there. He has got big power, so if he can just barrel some balls, he can hit them out of any part of the ballpark. It is something you really look for in a guy; obviously in a corner outfield, you want a guy who can slug a little bit.”Closer situationHolden Christian and Long commanded the majority of the save chances last season for Arizona.
