Another 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.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackIt was actually only Oregon’s first season. This kid could be nasty.
Gilmartin, the 27th rounder, is a steal. He is a baseball guy….very versatile, hits for average and with power, and is a fine pitcher as well. Mentally tought.
