Trevor Hoffman becomes first Arizona Wildcat inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame

Legendary closer Trevor Hoffman was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday, becoming the first Arizona Wildcat enshrined in Cooperstown.

Hoffman spent 18 seasons in the MLB (1993-2010), logging 601 saves, the second-most in MLB history. He spent most of his career with San Diego Padres, but did have short stints with the Florida Marlins and Milwaukee Brewers.

The seven-time All-Star had a career 2.87 ERA and allowed 6.99 hits per nine innings, which is the seventh-best mark ever among pitchers with at least 1,000 career innings.
