Salpointe infielder Luis Garcia announced his commitment to play for South Mountain. The senior standout had three RBI and a double to help lead the Lancers to a perfect 4-0 record last spring before the season was canceled.
Rio Rico pitcher Raul Garayzar is also headed to play for the Cougars. At 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds, Garayzar throws in the upper 80s and will be an imposing figure for the program
The Cougars are located in Phoenix and the program competes in the Arizona Community College Athletic Association (ACCAC).
I am thrilled to announce that I will further my academic and baseball career at South Mountain CC. Thank you to all my coaches, teachers, trainers, friends and family who shaped me into who I am today. This is only the beginning‼️ #forRio #jucoroute @SoMtnBaseball pic.twitter.com/9tylXqfcTn
