Recommended Posts

Zach Arnold, SS, 6-2, 185, Temecula, Calif. (Great Oak HS)
Ranked 189th overall in California and 37th in the state among shortstops by Perfect Game ... Named first-team All-Southwestern League as a junior in 2018 ... Hit .397 with three home runs and 15 RBI ... Finished with four doubles, four triples and 29 runs scored ... Went 10-for-13 in stolen bases and had an on-base percentage of .538 ... Suffered an injury as a sophomore ... A two-year letterman at Great Oak High School ... High school baseball coach is Eric Morton.
Associate Head Coach Jay Uhlman: "Zach has flown under the radar due to an injury he sustained during his sophomore year. He has since recovered and had a break out junior year at Great Oak. Offensively, he has a knack for getting hits, creating runs to go along with developing power in his swing. These tools compliment his tremendous defensive ability. He brings speed, physicality and the athleticism necessary to play all of the infield positions. Zach always wanted to be a Duck and we are excited to watch him make his mark on our program."

68. Zach Arnold, SS, Great Oak HS, Temecula, Calif.
Source: HS • Ht: 6-2 • Wt: 175 • B-T: R-R • Commitment/Drafted: Oregon

Arnold led Great Oak (Temecula, Calif.) HS to the CIF-Southern Section Division 3 championship game at Dodger Stadium this spring while emerging as an intriguing draft prospect. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Arnold is an athletic shortstop with a good frame who projects to grow into more power. He makes hard contact against good pitching, has an above-average arm and is an above-average runner. He’s a quick, instinctive defender at shortstop and projects to hit enough if he has to slide to third base. Arnold lacks history on the showcase circuit and pressed at times when large groups of evaluators showed up, so not everyone got a good look at him. Those who saw Arnold well are interested in buying him out of an Oregon commitment.
