Through 23 games, and two conference series, freshman Cody Deason has the best ERA of any Arizona Wildcats pitcher, posting a 0.84 mark in eight appearances (10 2/3 innings).
But he wasn't supposed to be a Wildcat.
It was July. Deason was committed to play baseball for the Oregon Ducks. And Arizona was in the middle of making a regime change.
"I actually wasn't coming here, I was actually going to the University of Oregon all the way through summer," Deason explained of his original plans to play college baseball.
