Career

Hoglund graduated from Dayspring Academy in Port Richey, Florida, but since they do not offer any athletic teams, he played baseball for Fivay High School in Hudson, Florida.[1] As a senior in 2018, he was 7–0 with a 0.27 ERA.[2]

Hoglund was selected 36th overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2018 Major League Baseball draft,[3] but did not sign and instead chose to enroll at the University of Mississippi and play college baseball for the Ole Miss Rebels.[4][5] In 2019, his freshman year, he appeared in 17 games (making 16 starts), going 3-3 with a 5.29 ERA, striking out 53 and walking 14 in 68 innings.[6]
