From Press Release

The Corvallis Knights have signed Oregon freshman right-handed pitcher Stephen Nogosek for the 2014 season, general manager Bre Kerkvliet announced Friday. He is a returnee from the 2013 West Coast League championship team.
Nogosek (6-1, 180) was 1-1, 2.81 in nine games in 2013, with 20 strikeouts in 16 innings. He also hit .239 (17-71) in 26 games as an infielder, with no homers and seven RBIs.

He is a graduate of Woodcreek High School in Roseville, Calif., and played on the United States U-16 national team before enrolling at Oregon.

Nogosek will be joined by four other returnees from the 2013 championship team: Pitchers Chris Bishop (Pacific Lutheran) and Sean Eberhardt (George Fox), and outfielders Grant Melker (San Diego) and Joe Duffin (Cypress College). Infielder Marc Gallegos of Corban University, a 2012 all-WCL selection with the Knights who missed last summer with a shoulder injury, will also return.

The Knights open the 2014 season on June 4 with a home nonconference game against an as-yet undetermined opponent. They start the WCL season June 6 at Bend.
