Hagan is another college senior that the Pirates
drafted to help fill out their minor league rosters. Although he
was primarily a DH in college,
he showed no power. He did improve dramatically in his
senior year. He signed right after
the draft and was sent to the GCL. He played mainly 1B, as
the Pirates' inability to bring hitters into their farm system has forced
them to use non-prospects to fill that position at most levels in most years. Hagan
walked a lot against the younger competition in the GCL, but didn't do
much else. He hit much
better in 2007, still in the GCL. Considering how
much older than the competition he was, the modest power isn't impressive. Hagan was the primary 1B
for much of the season. He eventually gave way most
of the time to the younger Alex Vargas, but it was only
because of an injury. It's very difficult to understand the reason for playing a guy
who's nearly 24 regularly on a GCL team. Hagan opened 2008 with Hickory, probably due in part to a season-ending injury that Justin Byler suffered in
spring training. He initially served primarily as DH, but ultimately got most of the
playing time at 1B after Miles Durham was promoted. He hit respectably but
that's all, showing a little power but not walking as much as he had in
the GCL. He struggled with LHPs, batting only .219 against them, and missed about
a month in the middle of the season with an injury. Hagan was listed
in the 2009 media guide, but he was not listed on the minor league
camp roster and did not appear anywhere during the year, so he may have been
released or retired.
