UA commits Orozco, Santa Cruz pitch at Yankees' scout team scrimmage

UA baseball coach Andy Lopez attended the New York Yankees’ scout team scrimmage last week at Pima College. He had to like what he saw. The Yankees hired ex-Sahuarita High baseball coach Bryan Huie as a regional scout; he arranged to have the two top pitching prospects in Southern Arizona at the showcase: Salpointe’s Jio Orozco and Sahuarita’s Sati Santa Cruz.
