Hagan Ward is a low-mileage Notre Dame righty with efficient command
Ward has flashed limited but efficient college action at Notre Dame, striking out four batters in 4.3 innings across four appearances as a freshman in 2024, then not appearing in games in 2025. The appeal is his strike-throwing profile and pitchability rather than raw volume: Notre Dame’s roster notes also credit him with 106 career innings and just 31 walks, which points to a pitcher who can keep innings clean and fit as a dependable, command-first depth arm if he’s healthy and ready to re-enter the mix.
