With half of the 2022 College World Series field members of the SEC – all of which residing in the SEC West, ironically enough – one would think the Aggies benefitted in the scouting department. Unfortunately, of the four SEC programs, A&M is the only member school in Bracket #1.
Nonetheless, the Aggies recorded the most wins (6) and share the best winning percentage with Oklahoma (0.60) against the field in their 2022 regular season – albeit facing only one opponent in their current bracket, a 12-9 victory at Texas’ UFCU Disch-Falk Field on March 29th.
As previously stated, with the three remaining SEC schools playing in the SEC West – Arkansas, Auburn and Ole Miss – the Aggies played a best-of-three series against each of them: a 2-1 series loss against Auburn in late March, a 2-1 series win against Arkansas in late April, and a 2-1 series win at Ole Miss in their last regular-season series before the SEC Tournament.
Thus with some unfamiliar faces standing in A&M’s path to the Championship Series, the scouting department will be hard at work, as will the student-athletes learning their opponent, until opening pitch on Friday afternoon as the Aggies take on Oklahoma at 2PM ET on ESPN.
Here are the records against the field for each of the #CWS teams:
