Arizona baseball preview: Wildcats will have tall task replacing middle infield in 2016

You could argue that the Arizona Wildcats had the best middle infield in all of college baseball in 2015, with Scott Kingery and Kevin Newman both getting drafted in the first 48 picks of the MLB Draft.

This year, it'll be a cast of characters trying to fill in the holes at second and short.

Key losses: Kevin Newman, Scott Kingery, Riley Moore (graduated), Handsome Monica (transferred)

Key newcomers: Louis Boyd (Cochise College), Cesar Salazar (Sahuaro HS), Ryan Haug (Santa Rosa JC)

Key returners: Bobby Dalbec, JJ Matijevic, Cody Ramer, Ryan Aguilar, Sawyer Gieseke, Michael Hoard

Let's start behind the plate and work our way around the horn.
