David Hagen is WVU’s dependable strike-thrower with sneaky value in the middle innings
In the 2026 season, West Virginia right-hander David Hagen showed he can steady games, opening the year with clean outings and later working as a trusted multi-inning arm; he was listed at 3-1 with a 4.74 ERA, 16 strikeouts, and 16 walks in 19.0 innings entering May, after a strong 2025 freshman season (2-0, 2.35 ERA, 13 strikeouts in 23.0 innings). He’s a 6-2, 185-pound righty whose fit comes from composure, early-count efficiency, and willingness to take the ball in flexible roles—less flash, more useful innings, which coaches love.
