RENO, Nev. - Right-handed pitcher
Peyton Fosher was selected by the Miami Marlins in the 19th round (No. 558 overall) of the 2025 MLB Draft Monday.
Fosher is Nevada's 10th MLB Draft selection since 2019, and the fifth over the program's three seasons (2023-25) under head coach
Jake McKinley.
The Tomball, Texas, joined Nevada in 2024 after two seasons (2022-23) at Angelina College, elevating to the Wolf Pack's Friday starter this past year. Fosher went 6-4 in 2025, sharing the team lead in wins, and led the team in strikeouts (77) and innings pitched (76.2). He was named Mountain West Pitcher of the Week March 31 after his series-opening win over Washington State in which he matched his career high of nine strikeouts over seven innings of one-run, three-hit ball.
Fosher had four outings this past season with at least seven strikeouts, with highs of nine in the season opener at California (Feb. 14) and against the Cougars. He heated up in the home stretch of the campaign, going 3-0 with 23 strikeouts over his final four starts.
Over his two seasons at Nevada, Fosher went 9-7 over 29 starts, striking out 127 in 138.0 innings of work.
