It was a big day for Arizona baseball on Wednesday.
UA baseball head coach Jay Johnson unveiled the Wildcats 2021 signing class, consisting of 14 standout players from the high school and college ranks.
The 2021 class of student-athletes, which features two Perfect Game Top 100 talents, is expected join the Wildcats already impressive roster of players in Tucson next August.
“We are excited to add this class of high-level players to Arizona Baseball,” Johnson said. “It is a class that will really compliment the players we will have returning to give us a good foundation for the 2022 season and beyond. We are always looking for high-level players that are also high-level people, and I think that we accomplished that with this group. If these players continue the development track they are on, many of them will have the chance to make positive contributions to Arizona Baseball in the coming years. This is another really good day for our program.”
