Five former Arizona Wildcats made their Major League debuts in 2022, resulting in 15 players with UA ties getting into a big-league game a year ago.
There will be at least one first-time ex-Wildcat in the bigs this season, as catcher Cesar Salazar made the Opening Day roster of the defending World Series champion Houston Astros.
Cesar Salazar tells me he’s an “emotional mess” after finding out he’s made the opening day roster about a half an hour ago.
Will post our 1 on 1 conversation later, but a huge day for the former Arizona Wildcat catcher.
