Former West Virginia University baseball player Joe Agreste has signed a free-agent deal with the San Diego Padres.
Agreste, who played first base for the Mountaineers, is coming off a season in which he was named the Gateway Grizzlies Newcomer of the Year. The Chesapeake, Va., native batted .303 with five home runs, 33 RBIs, 18 doubles, four triples and 35 runs for the independent Frontier League squad.
In his two-year career at WVU, Agreste batted .314 with 11 homers, 96 RBIs, 30 doubles, eight triples and 118 hits in 105 games. He earned All-Big East third-team honors in 2008 and was an integral part of WVU's record-breaking 2009 team that set school marks for batting average (.360), RBIs (491), doubles (161), extra-base hits (242) and runs (525).
