It’s bound to happen. Sports writers and fans are always comparing one player to another, one team to another, or one era to another. So of course, we have a comparison of the 2012 and 2016 Arizona baseball teams. What it tells us is there isn’t a lot of comparison, something we already find out when trying to compare the freshman catchers on those teams. This offense is worse, but the pitching is better, and the 2016 team has reached this point in a completely different fashion. There’s not a lot of similarities other than how far they’ve gone in the season
- Speaking of comparing, D1Baseball did so for a couple of categories, but refused to take a stand on the pitching and intangibles.
