The incoming freshman class for WVU baseball is a loaded class that has five of its incoming freshman ranked inside the Top 40, according to Perfect Game.
Zahir Barjam, an infielder is the highest rated player at No. 12.
David Perez, a utility player and pitcher is rated at No. 15.
Ben Goodacre, a pitcher and an outfielder is rated at No. 18.
Colton Sims, a middle infielder is rated at No. 26.
Keegan Russell, a pitcher and first baseman is rated at No. 35.
The next highest rated player for WVU is southpaw, first baseman and outfielder Wyatt Mosley who is rated at No. 52.
After Mosley is right-hander and outfielder Brayden Robinson who is rated at No. 72.
Hudson Cavallo, a pitcher and an outfield is rated at No. 81.
Sean Goldy, who is an infielder and outfielder is rated at No. 97.
From rankings 111 to where the rankings round out at 132, West Virginia has six more players ranked highly within the Perfect Game rankings.
That is a total of 15 players ranked inside the top 132 within the Big 12. That is a true testament of how Steve Sabins and his staff have managed and recruited well over the last couple of seasons.
The 2026 schedule has not been released yet, but expect the Mountaineers to start the first couple weeks on the road. Last season, WVU did not play its first home game until Feb. 26.
