Four Yuma County seniors earn spots in 6A All-Star Game

Four seniors from three Yuma County schools earned spots on the 6A All-Star stage, a sign that the county’s baseball talent is spreading across programs and not sitting in one corner of the bracket.

The Arizona Baseball Coaches Association scheduled the 2026 6A All-Star Game for Sunday, May 24, at 6 p.m. at Goodyear Ballpark, with All-State teams voted on by each region. For Yuma County, the selections of Cibola’s Rodrigo Orozco, San Luis’ Luis Cunningham and Kofa’s Julio Reina and Ryan Rosas show a region producing multiple high-level seniors at once.

Orozco, a do-it-all player for Cibola High School in Yuma, put together one of the most complete seasons in the county with a .466 batting average and a .567 on-base percentage while adding power and steady defense. He has already committed to Arizona Western College, giving his selection the feel of both a high school capstone and a preview of what the Matadors can expect next. Five Tool Baseball also lists Orozco as a 2026 prospect from Cibola, underscoring how his season pushed him onto a larger radar.

Cunningham was San Luis’ lone All-State selection and earned second-team honors after one of the most versatile seasons in the area. He hit .386 and posted a 0.93 earned run average, then showed how overpowering he could be on the mound in a 1-0 loss to Kofa on April 29, when he threw a no-hitter and still took the defeat after Victor Gonzalez scored the game’s only run on a passed ball. In a county where every run matters, Cunningham’s night captured both his talent and the fine margins that have shaped the season.

Kofa accounted for the other two selections, with Reina and Rosas giving the Kings a second strong representation from the same roster. Reina hit .433 with a .509 on-base percentage while handling multiple positions, and he is committed to South Mountain Community College. Rosas was even more dominant at the plate, batting .506 with a .587 on-base percentage and an .851 slugging percentage, while also contributing on the mound with a 2.19 ERA.

The four selections from three schools reflect the depth of the Yuma County baseball scene and the coaching that has helped build it. Kofa was still alive in the 2026 AIA 6A state championship field on May 5, while San Luis and other county programs were finishing their seasons, a reminder that the area keeps producing athletes ready for pressure, postseason play and the next level. For younger players in Yuma, San Luis and Kofa, these honors offer a clear message: 6A-caliber baseball is being built here, year after year.
