West Virginia pitcher David Hagaman was selected in the fourth round of the MLB draft by the Texas Rangers.
Hagaman was one of the Mountaineers go-to arms out of the bullpen before suffering a season ending injury in 2024. The redshirt sophomore pitched 35 innings this season, notching 49 strikeouts and two saves, holding a 5.91 ERA.
As a redshirt freshman in 2023, Hagaman was named a NCBWA Freshman All-American and All-Big 12 Honorable Mention with 40 strikeouts in 38.1 innings pitched and a 3.52 ERA. He becomes the second Mountaineers selected in the MLB draft as the final pick of the fourth round, behind shortstop JJ Wetherholt who went No. 7 overall to the Washington Nationals.
