West Virginia has received a significant boost to the baseball program with the addition of Florida International University transfer pitcher Owen Puk.
The commitment from was first announced on social media.
Puk, a 6-foot-4, right-handed pitcher, had a successful 2025 season with FIU, posting a 4.91 ERA over 40.1 innings, striking out 51 batters.
He announced his decision to enter the transfer portal last month.
Puk’s commitment comes on the heels of two recruiting successes for the WVU head coach Steve Sabins.
The Mountaineers most recently secured commitments from Colorado Mesa outfielder Paul Schoenfeld, a DII standout who hit an impressive .420 with 94 hits, 9 home runs, and 55 RBIs and pitcher Chansen Cole, a transfer from DII Newberry College, who posted a 3.39 ERA over 87 innings and racking up 97 strikeouts.
