My DD played at a juco in El Paso. So, she played a number of D1 teams (including Arizona) in fall ball. When she played D1, her college team played a few jucos in the fall. The games are basically friendlies.
The scores make the games look closer than they are. The D1 teams generally play only one or two of their starters. They don't start their big dog pitcher(s). Basically, it is the freshmen and sophomores of the D1 team playing the juco.
The score might be close, but there was no way the D1 teams were going to let the juco beat them. If the game gets close, then D1 put their best players in the game.
Fall ball is primarily a way for the coach to look at the new talent and to consider who might get moved up as a starter.
Would have been nice to see some lesser pitchers over last 2 seasons. Have seen Renfroe, Sarratt, Blue, Waldrop, and Rogers.
