HUTCHINSON, Kan.&nbsp;— Jaden Gustafson is playing his summer baseball with the Hutchinson Monarchs after playing this past spring at Wichita State.

The Maize native went into the transfer portal following the announcement of Loren Hibbs not being retained as head coach following the 2023 season.

Wichita State announced on Tuesday that Gustafson will be returning to play for head coach Brian Green and the Shockers in 2024.

Gustafson appeared in 27 games for the Shockers in the spring, starting 13 of those. He hit .260 with a double, triple and seven RBI.&nbsp;
