Arizona great Diggins back in baseballย 

Ben Digginsย of Prescott, one of the top baseball recruits ever to enroll at Arizona and the No. 17 overall pick in the 2000 draft, had his post-UA career ended when he blew out his pitching arm in 2002. He reached the big leagues for a season. But after playing beach volleyball in Los Angeles, Diggins is back in baseball. He has been hired by the Dodgers as a scout.ย
