Wake Forest junior right-handed pitcher Phil Negus has agreed to terms with the Chicago White Sox, foregoing his final season of eligibility. Also, 2009 recruit Jacob Johnson has signed with the Cincinnati Reds and will not be attending Wake Forest.

A native of Milford, Mass., Negus was drafted by the White Sox in the 18th round of the 2009 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Negus is currently playing with the Bristol White Sox, the rookie level team for Chicago.

Negus appeared in 17 games during the 2009 season, including 10 starts. He compiled a record of 2-6 with a 9.05 earned run average in 56 2/3 innings. Negus struck out 40 batters and walked 24 during his junior campaign.

In his three years at Wake Forest, Negus made 66 appearances, with 11 of those as a starter. He posted a career record of 7-10 with a 7.39 ERA in 126 2/3 innings. Negus also notched three saves during his collegiate career.

Ernst Signs Free Agent Contract with Cincinnati Reds

Wake Forest redshirt senior relief pitcher Joel Ernst has signed a free agent contract with the Cincinnati Reds, it was recently announced.

Ernst, a native of Cincinnati suburb Loveland, Ohio, becomes the second Demon Deacon senior to sign a free agent deal with a MLB team. Earlier this summer, catcher Mike Murray signed with the San Francisco Giants.

Ernst was the most reliable pitcher out of the Demon Deacon bullpen in 2010, appearing in 27 games and finishing the season with a 2-1 record, two saves and a team-best 3.73 ERA. Ernst, who finished tied for fifth in the Atlantic Coast Conference in appearances, had a string of nine consecutive appearances without allowing a run during his senior campaign.

Over his four seasons at Wake Forest, Ernst pitched in 70 games, including eight starts, and had a 5-4 record with two saves and an 8.18 ERA.
