The Oklahoma Sooners added to their pitching staff via the [autotag]transfer portal[/autotag] on Wednesday, picking up a commitment from right-hander Jason Bodin.
Bodin transfers in from Texas A&M, where he spent one season as an Aggie. He took to social media to announce his decision.
A true freshman out of Orange, TX, he appeared in just two games last season in relief, working just one total inning, allowing one hit, walking two, and picking up a strikeout. Out of high school he was ranked the No. 216 right-handed pitcher in the country and the No. 59 overall player in the state of Texas by Perfect Game.
Head coach [autotag]Skip Johnson[/autotag] will certainly be able to develop Bodin, as he’s become known as quite the pitching expert in the college baseball ranks.
Thank you @AggieBaseball for a great first year and thank you to the 12th man for all the cheers and laughs with this being said I am transferring to The University of Oklahoma to further my academic and baseball career

Bodin is inexperienced, but he was a part of a Texas A&M team that made it all the way to the College World Series finals, falling in Game 3 of the championship round.
After the fantastic CWS run for the Aggies, head coach Jim Schlossnagle made the controversial decision to flip to the rival Texas Longhorns and become their head coach. Skip Johnson was rumored to be Texas A&M’s plan for a replacement, but OU’s skipper instead stayed in Norman, signing a contract extension.
