The 11th best reliever in the 2017 Valley League season, Jaret LaCagnina, is not a large person, but his stats sure loomed large for a Winchester Royal team that finished 21-21 in the regular season, and then came this close to making the finals.
The 5-foot-9 lefty from Davidson put up the following stats in the regular season and playoffs:
| Win | ERA | W | L | G | SV | IP | H | R | ER | BB | K | BAVG | WIP | BB/9 | K/9 |
| 2017 | 2.14 | 0 | 0 | 12 | 0 | 21.0 | 13 | 6 | 5 | 10 | 23 | 0.181 | 1.095 | 4.3 | 9.9 |
| Play | 1.80 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 5.0 | 6 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 0.286 | 1.200 | 0.0 | 10.8 |
Jaret even scored a “pitcher of the day” designation on July 23rd- a tough thing for a reliever to accomplish. Against Woodstock, he threw 4 1/3 shutout innings, and allowed 1 hit, 2 walks, and struck out 7.
A future economics major, Jaret is currently a sophomore at Davidson. In his freshman year in 2017, he threw only 3 2/3 innings all year. Watch for a spike in usage in 2018!
