Aggie Baseball’s Jace LaViolette named to the SEC All-Freshman Team

Texas A&M freshman phenom Jace LaViolette has been named to the SEC All-Freshman Team after a stellar finish to the 2023 regular season.

What year it’s been for Texas A&M freshman outfielder Jace LaViolette,  who at 6-6 and 230 pounds is built like a future first-round quarterback, but instead is slated to be one of the top prospects in the upcoming 2023 MLB Draft.

Jace LaViolette finished the season with a .306 average in 54 starts with 57 RBIs, 18 home runs, and 16 stolen bases, including a .835 slugging percentage against SEC opponents. After hitting three home runs in the Aggies season finale 15-10 road win against Mississippi State, LaViolette, his 18 home runs set a new freshman single-season home run record. In addition, they broke the record John Byington set in 1987. Due to his incredible performance this season, LaViolette was officially named to the SEC All-Freshman Team on Monday.

After finishing the regular season 32-23 and 14-16 in the SEC, plenty of bright spots, including the stellar play down the stretch from LaViolette, have given Aggie fans so a glimmer of hope going into the SEC Tournament this week, starting with a single elimination game vs. Tennessee on Tuesday afternoon.

For the Aggies to make any postseason run in both the SEC and NCAA Tournament, LaViolette must continue his dominant hitting streak, especially if the pitching continues to underperform. Congratulations, Jace! Gig ‘Em, and BTHO Tennessee!
