The Aggies represent the perfect balance in modern roster construction, according to several coaches who discussed the matter on the condition of anonymity.
Their roster is importantly built around a prized group of returners, which includes Preseason Player of the Year Jace LaViolette, reigning SEC Freshman of the year Gavin Grahovac and ace lefty Ryan Prager, who was picked in the third round of last year’s draft but just another year of college baseball instead. Saturday starter Justin Lamkin, sophomore outfielder Caden Sorrell and junior shortstop Kaeden Kent are also among those who were a part of Texas A&M run to the title series last year and returned for 2025.
First-year Aggies head coach Michael Earley and his staff also layered in the No. 3-ranked transfer portal class in the country with seven top-100 newcomers, including former Saint Mary’s catcher Bear Harrison, former Penn second baseman Wyatt Henseler, former Texas Tech first baseman and outfielder Gavin Kash and former Long Beach State pitcher Myles Patton, among others.
“It’s a really good looking group,” a high-major coach said. “There’s really not much to even say about it. They’re very well-rounded and have multiple star-caliber players and you even look at the draft and they’ll be well-represented there too in the very early rounds. They’re good.”

A&M was first with 41 votes. LSU was second with 3 votes.

Basically what OP is saying....
"Look at me. Look at me.
Big brother gets all the attention, so look at me!
Please look at me. Please!"

2 weeks away. I know LSU had a scrimmage this weekend, did we have one too?

Why do this to yourself? You will never replace Tennesse fans!

It’s baseball relevant, less that 2 weeks before the season. Nothing in the post has anything to do with the horns
If anything it’s look at me behavior from UTLGBTQ+U

A&M will be a force this year for sure, Schloss built a great team and Earley looks to only be building on that further.

Good luck aggy. No pressure on your rookie head coach.

I don’t think there will be many sweeps this year, taking a series will be gold.

What pressure? I can guarantee you no SEC baseball is looking ahead past the goal of hosting a regional. Last year non SEC color commentators were all ate up and expressed the SEC didn’t deserve to host 8 regionals. We probably tie that this year again.

Is A&M baseball like their football team? Start out first half of the season as top contenders just to finish the season as yet another pretender.

Basically, except Elko lost his last 4 power conference games and nobody wanted him, unlike Schloss choking twice in a row before taking off for UTrans

Congrats. Being the overwhelming preseason favorite in baseball always leads to good things.

You guys didn’t compliment Hogan with hitting. Wondering who will have the best bats this year. With Condon gone, I wonder what Georgia’s hitting will look like.

1938. Nuff said. The melt will be glorious.
