The Corvallis Knights have signed University of Washington right-handed pitchers Alex Nesbitt, Brandon Choate and Alex Hardy for the 2014 season, general manager Bre Kerkvliet announced Tuesday.

Choate and Nesbitt were key members of the bullpen on the Knights' 2013 West Coast League championship team.

A native of Mukilteo, Wash., Nesbitt was 2-0, 2.78 in 12 games for the Knights in 2013, with a save and 23 strikeouts in 35.2 innings. He is a sophomore.
