She finished her college career with a 100–18 win record and a 1.82 ERA. Since 2015, Wagner has pitched for the Pennsylvania Rebellion, but the club was dissolved in 2017.
Early life
Wagner was born in 1993 and grew up in Orange, California.[2] She attended El Modena High School,[3] graduating in 2011.[1] She was selected as an all-country player three consecutive years from 2009 to 2011.[3]
University of Michigan
Wagner enrolled in the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts in the fall of 2011.[1] As a freshman in the spring of 2012, Wagner appeared in 50 games, including 34 as a starter.[1] She compiled a win–loss record of 32–7 with a 1.53 ERA and 159 strikeouts.[1] Her 32 wins set a single-season freshman record at Michigan. Following an outstanding season, she was named Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Year.[1] At the end of the 2012 season, she was selected unanimously as the Big Ten Conference Pitcher of the Year.[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.[3] After returning to the line-up, she appeared in 30 games, including 22 as a starter.[1] On March 9, 2013, she threw a one-hitter against Illinois.[1] 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.[1] She was selected as a second-team All-Big Ten Conference pitcher at the end of the 2013 season.[6]
