John Hagemann’s first baseball career, as a relief pitcher in the New York Giant organization, lasted a single season. The second, as a scout for the Expos, Braves and Phillies, lasted most of a lifetime.
Hagemann signed a half-dozen major-league regulars including Staten Islander Jason Marquis, who won 124 big-league games, and was instrumental in the trade that brought Hall of Famer John Smoltz to the Braves. He is a member of the Pro Baseball Scouts Hall of Fame.
