Now that the Arizona Wildcats’ season has ended, head coach Jay Johnson plans to evaluate the 2019 roster and prepare for next year.

No one expects star catcher Cesar Salazar or first baseman Alfonso Rivas to be part of the team. The pair of juniors will be entering the MLB Draft and, ideally, signing with a team when all is said and done.

“Hopefully I’ve played my last game at Arizona, but I don’t know how to process it yet,” Rivas said Monday, a few hours after the Wildcats were left out on Selection Monday.
