Locals in the Pros

Tracking former Southern Arizona & Arizona Wildcats baseball players in pros (6/22)

By Javier Morales

Posted on June 22, 2025

NOTE: This is a compilation of stats involving players from Southern Arizona and the Pima Community College and Arizona Wildcats’ programs in MLB-sanctioned leagues (MLB and minor leagues). The list does not include players in foreign leagues or independent leagues in the US.

Jared Oliva (left) was activated from the injured list Thursday after suffering a left oblique strain. He rejoined former Arizona teammate **Bobby Dalbec** at Triple-A Nashville of the Milwaukee Brewers organization. Oliva and Dalbec played together at Arizona under **Andy Lopez** and **Jay Johnson** in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Both were productive Saturday with Nashville with Oliva hitting an RBI triple with a stolen base and Dalbec with a two-run double and stolen base in a 7-4 win over the Iowa Cubs. Oliva and Dalbec comprise one of four sets of former Arizona teammates on the same team now. The others: **Matt Fraizer** and **Randy Labaut** with Triple-A Indianapolis (Pittsburgh Pirates), **Austin Smith** and **Kobe Kato** with Double-A Columbus (Ga.) (Atlanta Braves) and **Kevin Newman** and **Scott Kingery** with the Los Angeles Angels.
