This fall, the emphasis was not only getting the Wildcat program back on track but working some new pitching into the mold and also finding some fill-ins to go along with what will be a veteran infield and batting order for 2019. And the good news is, according to Jay Johnson, the head honcho of the Desert Cats, it was mission accomplished on all fronts.

Power was on display for the Wildcats lineup:

In the four games of this weekend’s opening series, the Arizona Wildcats lineup combined to hit fourteen doubles, three triples, and five home runs. This was in large part due to Pre-Season All American Cameron Cannon slashing six doubles during the series, along with the freshman tandem of Ryan Colgate and Austin Wells combining to hit four home runs. Once Nick Quintana finds his groove again, which we saw on Sunday when he went 3 for 3, this lineup is looking to be deadly for opposing pitchers the rest of the season.
