Few chances left to see Arizona's Kingery

Sunday’s 6 o’clock Arizona-Washington baseball game at Hi Corbett Field will likely be the last chance for Tucsonans to watch UA junior second baseman Scott Kingery in a Pac-12 home game. Through Friday, Kingery led the Pac-12 in batting average (.411), hits (83), runs (50), doubles (15), and total bases (123). Baseball America ranks him No. 39 overall in next month’s draft, and unless something crazy happens, Kingery is the leader to be the Pac-12 Player of the Year. Only five Wildcat position players have been so honored and all except 2012 honoree Alex Mejia reached the big leagues: Terry Francona, 1980; Chip Hale, 1987; Alan Zinter, 1989; Trevor Crowe, 2005.
