New Texas head baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle’s departure from Texas A&M just days after the Aggie’s national championship loss to Tennessee will live in infamy among the fan base for years to come.
However, new Texas A&M coach Michael Earley looks like the real deal after serving as the program’s hitting coach from 2022-2024. While he briefly left for the same position under Schlossnagle at Texas, taking over a program on the rise was a no-brainer, even at the young age of 36.
During the offseason, Earley’s hiring spurred several key returns to the roster, led by star hitters Jace LaViolette and Gavin Grahovic. At the same time, ace pitcher Ryan Prager decided to forgo his MLB future and return for a final season to round out a highly talented pitching rotation.
On paper, Texas A&M’s 2025 roster is as talented and experienced as it gets. It includes a handful of transfer additions, including former Texas Tech first baseman Gavin Kash, who brings a ton of power to an already strong lineup.
On Monday, Perfect Game released its first 2025 preseason baseball rankings, and the SEC once again dominates the rankings with ten teams. To some surprise, Texas A&M came in at No. 1. Here is the complete top 25.
