MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Alek Manoah is the name that’s brought West Virginia baseball to perhaps its highest level of national prominence in program history this season. He’s a certain first-round draft pick on a surefire postseason team that’s spent much of the season in the national rankings.
But Manoah doesn’t consider himself “The Man” of the Mountaineers roster. That distinction belongs to senior right fielder Darius Hill.
“He is Mountaineer baseball,” Manoah said. “His name is written all over the record books.”
Over the course of his career, Hill has become the program’s all-time leader in games played, at-bats and doubles.
