West Virginia starting pitcher Ryan Bergert was selected by the San Diego Padres in the sixth round (190th overall) of the 2021 Major League Baseball draft.
Bergert missed the 2021 baseball season due to an injury suffered during the offseason after earning a spot in the weekend starting rotation in 2020, going 2-2 on the year with a 2.92 ERA in the abbreviated season.
