Penn State’s baseball team will be in the national spotlight Wednesday with a non-conference matchup against West Virginia in Morgantown. The game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. EDT with TV coverage on ESPN2 and streaming on-demand .

Where: Wagener Field, Morgantown, W.Va .

Part of the allure if this midweek, non-conference matchup on ESPN2 has to be the presence of Mountaineers infielder JJ Wetherholt, who sits at No. 8 on MLB.com’s list of top prospects for the 2024 MLB amateur draft. Wetherholt is renowned for his left-handed bat, to the point where MLB.com says, “there some area scouts who think he’s the best amateur bat they’ve ever seen.” Wetherholt is a Pennsylvania native from Mars Area HS fighting through injuries to hit .347 in 22 games for WVU after a huge sophomore season where he hit .449 with 16 homers and 60 RBIS in 55 games.

Penn State can welcome a quick break from Big Ten play, where first-year coach Mike Gambino and the Lions are 7-11 this season with one series victory in six tries. Penn State is led by veteran catcher J.T. Marr with a .412 average that ranks second in the Big Ten. The Lions are hitting .302 as a team, but struggling on the pitching side with a 6.52 staff ERA and 395 hits allowed in 353.1 innings.

The Nittany Lions and Mountaineers are set for a 7 p.m. EDT start on ESPN2. Live streams are available from FuboTV (free trial) , DirecTV Stream (free trial) and SlingTV (free trial) .
