In somewhat of a surprise Texas A&M right-handed pitcher Eldridge Armstrong III’s time in Bryan-College Station has come to an end. However, it’s for a positive reason. The New York Mets announced they signed Armstrong to a UDFA deal over the weekend.
Many casual fans did not see this coming and had Armstrong penciled in as a spot reliever with a chance to get some closer work in as well. He came to A&M in 2024 from SDSU where he went 6-1 with a 3.81 ERA. Even though his time was short in Aggielend you could see the talent in his arm and would have been an asset in Coach Jason Kelly’s pitching plan for 2025.
Eldridge Armstrong III signs with the @Mets!
