Wait for it… BOOM! Texas A&M Baseball and Head Coach Jim Schlossnagle have landed one of the top remaining transfer portal players, as former standout Stanford outfielder/pitcher Braden Montgomery has committed to the Maroon and White for the 2023-2024 season.
During his 2022-2023 sophomore season, Montgomery’s stat line included hitting .336 for 17 home runs and 62 RBI, while his two total seasons include .315 with 35 homers and 118 RBI; Impressive as all get out.
Back in early June, the Aggies memorably fell to the Cardinal in the Stanford Regional 2 games to 1, where Montgomery recorded six hits and a home run in the series. He would go on to record six more hits against Texas and Tennessee before Stanford fell to the Vols in the College World Series.
Pretty incredible addition for @CoachSchloss and @AggieBaseball. Former Stanford star and All-American as impactful as any transfer in college baseball. https://t.co/p6Eel77t9Q

Adding nearly a dozen players from the portal, Montgomery’s star definitely shines the brightest, and let’s not forget that he’ll be joining a lineup with Aggie star Jace LaViolette (.287/.414/.632; 21 HRs) and fellow portal member, Hayden Schott (.333/.410/.618; 11 HRs) to what should be one of the more lethal offensive units in the country.
Congratulations, Braden! Gig ‘em
