On her first week on the job as Arizona’s pitching coach, Taryne Mowatt left town on a recruiting mission. Once she did her research on the recruiting work done by Mike Candrea and his staff, she had to be impressed. The UA already has at least seven commitments from the top prospects in Southern California from the classes of 2018-2020. One of the latest is infielder Janelle Meono, who hit .667 as a sophomore at Wilson High School in Hacienda Heights, California, with 30 stolen bases. Even at 31, Mowatt’s value as a pitching coach puts her near the top of the Pac-12. Her value in recruiting SoCal, her home turf, is immeasurable
