Arizona recruiting: Sergio Brown's unique background and personality drawing top baseball prospects to Wildcats

"You gotta keep it fun. You gotta keep it light."

Such is the life of Arizona Wildcats assistant baseball coach Sergio Brown. In addition to his duties of coaching first base during games, and working with the hitters and infielders during practice, Brown is the lead recruiter for Arizona's baseball program.

Brown, a 44-year-old English major from Cal State Fullerton, is in his 15th year of being an assistant coach at the Division-1 level, and his first with Arizona. He was also a member of the 1995 National Championship team at Fullerton.

Since the second Jay Johnson stepped on campus as the Wildcats' new head baseball coach, it was obvious that the focus of the program would shift to recruiting, and bringing in Brown was just part of that.
