SUBMIT FORMCongratulations Coach Andy Lopez
on being inducted to the National College Baseball Hall of Fame!
The A-Club would like to congratulate former baseball head coach, Andy Lopez, on is induction into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame!
Coach Lopez is a two-time NCAA National Champion and one of the winningest coaches in the sport's history. He steered the Wildcats for 14 seasons from 2002-15 and saw his tenure with Arizona highlighted by a 2012 National Championship, nearly 500 wins, 12 winning seasons, eight trips to the NCAA Tournament, three Super Regional appearances, two College World Series, one National Coach of the Year honor, and much more.
The Wildcats 2012 championship season led by Lopez was one of the most remarkable in program history — Arizona finished the regular season with a record of 38-17 before tearing through the postseason with a perfect 10-0 record to bring a fourth National Championship back to Tucson. The Wildcats perfect postseason push was just the second 10-0 run to a title in NCAA history.
His successes in development extended beyond Tucson as well, with nearly one-third of the Wildcats 92 all-time Major League Baseball products having been coached by Lopez.
This year's HOF class will be inducted as a part of the College Baseball Night of Champions celebration Feb. 2-3 in Omaha, Nebraska. For more information or to purchase tickets to this event, click below.
