Arizona baseball: Wildcats recruiting in-state talent effectively

When Jay Johnson took over as the head baseball coach of the Arizona Wildcats, one thing was clear: recruiting would become the priority.

Now in the middle of year two, that has certainly come to fruition.

Overall, Arizona’s 2018 class is ranked 6th in the country by Perfect Game. With how the baseball recruiting game has changed, 2018 is the first class that Johnson and his staff will have been on equal footing, so this is the best measure for how he’s stacking up with his competition.

And I think you could say he’s stacking up pretty well, especially with the lack of western teams in the top 20.
