Every Texas A&M Aggie selected in the 2023 MLB Draft

Texas A&M is the only school in the nation to have three or more players picked in every MLB Draft since 2001, marking an unmatched 22-year streak.

The 2023 MLB Draft is officially in the books, and there was no shortage of Texas A&M prospects hearing their names called over the course of the three-day event.

While no one from the Maroon and White heard their name called on Day 1, the Aggies more than made up for it with six total selections across Days 2 and 3. In the aftermath, Texas A&M has had at least two players selected in every draft since 1984, which is the longest streak in the country. The Aggies also boast the achievement of being the only school in the nation to have three or more players picked in every MLB Draft since 2001.

That 22-year streak is three years longer than the next-closest active run, which is 19 years by the Vanderbilt Commodores.

There is plenty to be excited about at the moment if you’re an Aggie baseball fan, from the home run hiring of Max Weiner as Texas A&M’s new pitching coach to the trio of Aggie signees that withdrew their name from the MLB Draft, thus joining the program in 2024. And while the departures of the six Aggies who heard their names called is bittersweet, it’s rewarding to know they will represent the Maroon and White to the fullest at the next level.

Here is the rundown of every Aggie that was selected in the 2023 MLB Draft. Congratulations to all, and of course, BTHO the majors!

Everything Jim Schlossnagle, Hunter Haas and Brandyn Garcia said after defeating Stanford (NCAA Regional)

Hear what head coach Jim Schlossnagle, Hunter Hass, and Brandyn Garcia had to say after defeating Stanford in the NCAA Regional on Saturday.

Texas A&M baseball took us through the emotional spin cycle on Saturday night as head coach Jim Schlossnagle and his gritty squad faced the Stanford Cardinal in the NCAA Regional, coming from behind late to defeat the Regional host 8-5 in one of the more thrilling victories for the Maroon and White this season.

As the No.2 seed, the Aggies (38-25) sent Stanford (39-17) to Sunday afternoon’s elimination round to face Cal State Fullerton, who Texas A&M defeated 12-7 in the opening round of the Regional on Friday night. Trailing 4-2 in the 6th inning, shortstop Hunter Haas delivered time and time again, first with a game-tying 2 RBI double, leading to his eventual bases-clearing double in the top of the 8th to catapult the Aggies to a 7-4 lead with just one inning remaining.

On the mound, the team’s early hole came after starter Justin Lamkin’s 1.2-inning struggle. Yet, reliever Evan Aschenbeck (one unearned run on five hits and one walk in 2.2 innings), Brandyn Garcia (2.2 IP with just one walk), and Matt Dillard (one run on two hits, with one walk and a hit by a pitch in 1.1 IP) provided enough stability to keep the Cardinal at Bay, as only one run crossed the plate in the bottom of the 9th.

After the game, Jim Schlossnagle, Hunter Haas, and Brandyn Garcia discussed the big win as the Aggies look forward to facing Stanford or Cal State Fullerton in the Regional Final on Sunday night, slated for 8:00 pm CT. on ESPN+. Here is what they had to say:
