Gagnon, a Reedley High School graduate, was committed to transferring to UCLA but will now head to Los Angeles as a potential pro. Last summer, he played in the Appalachian League for the Burlington Sock Puppets.

Besides UCLA, Gagnon attracted interest from Fresno State, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, and other major schools. Despite having opportunities to play four-year college ball early, he chose to stay another year at Reedley College.

For the Reedley College Tigers, Gagnon made 10 starts, pitching 53 2/3 innings, striking out 98 batters, and posting a 3.69 ERA.
