TCU’s nickname is the Horned Frogs, but they run like Sonoran black iguanas. For non-experts out there, that’s the fastest lizard on the planet, able to run up to 30 miles per hour.
Arizona’s opening opponent in the NCAA Baseball Tournament has stolen 129 bases this season, tied for eight-most in the country, and have been caught just 17 times. That’s the same number of times the Wildcats have been caught stealing, but on just 54 attempts.
Being able to slow down TCU’s run game will be a key part of Arizona’s gameplan, but coach Chip Hale said there’s a limit to how much focus his team will be on that area.
