Former Arizona softball star Mo Mercado enjoying life as graduate assistant

Mo Mercado is one of the most decorated players in Arizona softball history.

The former All-American shortstop started in all 243 games from 2014-2017, while posting a slash line of .361/.408/.568 and being named first-team all-Pac-12 and all-defense as a junior and senior, possessing an all-around game devoid of any weaknesses.

While Mercado played her final game at Arizona on May 28, 2017 when the Wildcats lost a heartbreaker to Baylor in Game 3 of Super Regionals, she still is an instrumental part of the program.

Mercado spent the 2018 season as an undergraduate assistant, and now is in her first of two seasons as a graduate assistant, as she pursues a degree in educational leadership.
