UA baseball coachΒ Jay JohnsonΒ lost his top recruit,Β Matt Sauer, when the pitcher signed with the New York Yankees for $2.49 million last month. But Johnson was able to keep Casa Grande leftyΒ Gil Luna, who enrolled in UA summer school. A year ago, Luna was a revelation to recruiters; he struck out 138 batters in 252 innings for Casa Grande High as his fastball hit 94 mph. Luna injured his forearm last spring and only pitched 21 innings as a senior, but has recovered. Johnson gets no break from summer recruiting this month: He will be at the Long Beach Area Code Games this week.Β
