drew_gagnier1.jpgAnother California native, this time a huge RHP, 6′4, 225 out of the University of Oregon.

Drew Gagnier was first at Fresno State, before transferring to Oregon last season.  He is a Redshirt Junior.  

Giving up just 9 earned runs in 30 innings, he held a 2.70 ERA and a 1-0 record as a reliever, and averaged a strikeout per inning.

Batters hit a disgusting .137 against Gagnier, who pitched for a team that picked up just 14 wins in their second season.

Originally from Santa Cruz, Gagnier was an Outfielder in High School, earning All-League honors for the position, and has baseball in his blood as brother Lauren plays for the Detroit Tigers system.

He once pitched in a 7 inning combined no-hitter, and his 7 saves this season were tops for the club.

Although 25 walks may be a concern, he looks like a fairly solid pick for the bullpen.
