ALT GRAPHIC: Wacha enjoyed a stellar three-year career in Aggieland as one of the most feared pitchers in the nation. The two-time All-American pitcher was the ace of the Texas A&M staff during a run that included a College World Series appearance in 2011. He helped Ol' Sarge's charges win back-to-back Big 12 Tournament titles in 2010 and '11 as well as the league regular-season crown in 2011. The Texarkana, Texas, product crafted a career record of 27-7 with a 2.40 ERA and 336 strikeouts in 348.2 innings. Wacha's other stellar numbers included a 1.06 WHIP, 4.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio, four complete games and two shutouts. His career tallies for innings pitched (3rd), strikeouts (4th), wins (6th) and ERA (9th) rank in the top 10 in Texas A&M annals. The 27 wins and 336 strikeouts both rank ninth in the Big 12 career lists.
