UA baseball coach Jay Johnson appears to be in the process of putting together a 2018 recruiting class that will rank with the nation’s best. The latest commitment is Matt Dyer, a 6-foot-4-inch catcher who started 41 games for the Oregon Ducks as a freshman last season. Dyer, who was an all-state catcher at Glendale’s Mountain Ridge High School, will transfer to Arizona and be eligible in 2019.
