ATLANTA, Ga. — Seven Arizona Baseball players were selected in the 2025 MLB Draft on Monday: Infielder Mason White, catcher Adonys Guzman, and right-handed pitcher Julian Tonghini, Hunter Alberini, Casey Hintz, Raul Garayzar, and Michael Hilker Jr.

Combined with the Wildcats two selections on day one Arizona boasted nine MLB Draft selections this year, the program's most since 2008 and tied for the third most in the nation. Only 2008 (11 picks), 1993 (11 picks), 1986 (11 picks), and 1998 (10 picks) drafts featured more Wildcats.

Across four seasons in charge of his alma mater's program, head coach Chip Hale has now produced 20 MLB Draft picks.

Mason White | 4^th Round (118^th Overall) | Boston Red Sox
White, a Tucson native, finished his illustrious career with an All-American junior campaign. One of the most prolific sluggers in program history, the lefty hitting shortstop leaves Arizona as the Wildcats all-time leader in extra-base hits (111) while ranking second in career home runs with 49. White was a three-time conference champion, a two-time conference tournament MVP, a two-time All-Conference honoree, and a three-time NCAA Tournament participant. Across 177 career games at Arizona, White hit .315 with 168 runs scored, 45 doubles, 17 triples, 49 home runs, 173 RBI, a .636 slugging percentage, and a .396 on-base percentage.

Adonys Guzman | 5^th Round (144^th Overall) | Pittsburgh Pirates
Guzman developed into one of the best catchers in the nation during his two seasons at Arizona; the New York native was honored as such with a spot on the 2025 Buster Posey Award Semifinalist team. Guzman enjoyed a breakout performance in 2025, hitting .328 with 43 runs scored, 12 doubles, nine home runs, 44 RBI, and a .411 on-base percentage. While enjoying a career year at the plate he also excelled in controlling the run game, throwing out 17 base stealers, the best mark by a Wildcat in 14 years. Guzman's best efforts came in the postseason, with his .409 batting average, five extra-base hits, and 10 RBI fueling the Wildcats run to the Men's College World Series — for his efforts, he was named to the Eugene Regional and MCWS All-Tournament teams.

Julian Tonghini | 7^th Round (201^st Overall) | Washington Nationals
Tonghini logged one season with the Wildcats following two years at Boston College and one season at Indiana; during the 2025 season with Arizona he posted a 5-2 record and a 4.26 ERA across 22 relief appearances. Tonghini struck out a whopping 44 batters and walked just 14 in 25.1 innings of work while limiting opposing hitters to a .230 batting average. The tall right-hander issued two scoreless outings in the NCAA Tournament and was a critical part of the Wildcats bullpen that helped win the Big 12 Championship.

Hunter Alberini | 11^th Round (338^th Overall) | Kansas City Royals
Alberini finished his collegiate career with Arizona following two years at Umpqua Community College and two seasons at College of Southern Nevada. The Las Vegas native made 18 relief appearances during the Wildcats 2025 College World Series season and went 1-0 with a 3.48 ERA while fanning 33 batters. 

Casey Hintz | 16^th Round (482^nd Overall) | Seattle Mariners
Hintz established himself as one of the Wildcats most reliable relievers over the last three seasons; the sidearm throwing right-hander made 75 relief appearances at Arizona and boasts 10 career wins, 100 strikeouts, and a 5.17 ERA. His seven wins this season were the second most on the team and tied for the fifth most in the Big 12 Conference. Hintz was part of three NCAA Tournament teams at Arizona, won a trio of conference championships, and earned a trip to the 2025 College World Series. His success extended into the classroom as well, as he was twice selected to the CSC Academic All-District teams as a sophomore and junior.

Raul Garayzar | 18^th Round (543^rd Overall) | Arizona Diamondbacks
Garayzar launched onto the scene in 2025 with a breakout performance, opening the season in the Wildcats bullpen before moving into the starting rotation. Through 21 appearances (eight starts) and 57.2 innings as a senior this season, the Rio Rico, Arizona native went 2-0 with a 2.81 ERA and a minuscule .229 opponent batting average. Through two seasons in a Wildcat uniform he tallied 29 appearances and 58 strikeouts. Garayzar opened his collegiate career with two seasons at South Mountain CC before joining the Wildcats and winning a trio of conference championships and making a run to the College World Series.

Michael Hilker Jr. | 20^th Round (599^th Overall) | Minnesota Twins
Hilker Jr. put together a pair of outstanding seasons at Wisconsin-Whitewater before joining the Wildcats for the 2025 season. The right-hander made 13 appearances, including two starts, for Arizona's College World Series squad and tallied a pair of wins along the way. Across 22.1 innings of work he struck out 27 and limited opposing hitters to a .253 batting average. The Illinois native contributed to Arizona's 2025 Big 12 Championship title and made a pair of appearances in the Wildcats NCAA Tournament run.
