II championship game and featured future college standouts Kyle Molnar and Blake Sabol.

The muscular 6-foot-4, 210-pound rigthanded hitter takes an aggressive, direct path to the ball and uses his considerable natural strength to elevate the ball with authority. He matches his plus raw power with a solid feel to hit, good pitch recognition and a knack for the barrel. Wagaman is not an exceptional athlete and will have to stick at first base, but he has the big power to make that work.
