West Virginia baseball continues to build for the future, and the Mountaineers made another important move on Wednesday, November 11, announcing the signing of nine players to strengthen the program’s next recruiting class.
The latest additions represent another step in building a roster capable of competing at the highest level of college baseball and making noise in the Big 12 Conference.
Head coach Steve Sabins has assembled a class featuring four right-handed pitchers and five position players, giving the coaching staff a combination of pitching depth, athleticism, versatility and offensive potential.
There are several names that immediately stand out:
Cole Cheatham – Ranked No. 72 nationally and the No. 11 right-handed pitcher by Perfect Game.
Kadyn Hines – West Virginia’s top-ranked player and a major in-state addition from James Monroe High School.
Enmanuel Acevedo – A nationally ranked right-handed pitching prospect from New York.
Daniel Padilla – A 6-foot-5 offensive prospect with significant raw power.
Brady Stewart – A left-handed hitting shortstop coming from Johnson County Community College.
The complete nine-player class also includes Austin Gerken, Matt Moscarino, Griffin Pomper and Cooper Sievert.
