Haylie Wagner (born April 7, 1993) is an American softball player. She was a left-handed pitcher for the Michigan Wolverines softball team. She was unanimously selected the 2012 Big Ten Conference Pitcher of the Year after compiling a 32-7 record and a 1.53 earned run average (ERA) in her freshman year. She finished her college career with a 100-18 win record and a 1.82 ERA.
In June 2015, Wagner was drafted by the Pennsylvania Rebellion.[1] In October 2015, she extended her contract through the 2017 season.[1]
Early years
Wagner was born in 1993 and grew up in Orange, California.[2] She attended El Modena High School, graduating in 2011.[2] She was selected as an All-Country player three consecutive years from 2009 to 2011.[2][3]
University of Michigan
Wagner enrolled at the University of Michigan School of Kinesiology in the fall of 2011. As a freshman in the spring of 2012, Wagner appeared in 50 games, including 34 as a starter.[2] She compiled a win-loss record of 32-7 with a 1.53 ERA and 159 strikeouts.[2] Her 32 wins set a single-season freshman record at Michigan.[2] At the end of the 2012 season, she was selected unanimously as the Big Ten Conference Pitcher of the Year.[2][4][5]
As a sophomore in 2013, Haylie Wagner was named to the Top 50 Watch List for the 2013 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year.[3] However, she missed the first three weeks of the season with a back injury.[2][3] After returning to the line-up, she appeared in 30 games, including 22 as a starter. On March 9, 2013, she threw a one-hitter against Illinois.[2] She returned to Orange County, California to play for Michigan in the Judi Garman Classic and threw eight shutout innings in a victory over North Carolina State.[3] At the time, Michigan head coach Carol Hutchins told the Orange County Register: "We feel like she has the chance to be a very special player. Just how special? We'll have to wait and see about that. But we recruited her for a reason."[3] Wagner compiled a 19-3 record in 2013 with a 2.50 ERA and 102 strikeouts.[2] She was selected as a second-team All-Big Ten Conference pitcher at the end of the 2013 season.[2]
