2025 LHP Cole Hubert has committed to Texas A&M baseball

Texas A&M baseball earns commitment from a talented 2025 pitcher out of Hellertown, PA

Texas A&M baseball coach Michael Earley lands another pitcher, getting a commitment from a top player in Pennsylvania. On Monday, left-handed pitcher Cole Hubert, out of Hellertown, PA, announced via social media that he will join the Aggies in Bryan-College Station.

Hubert has some room to grow and is a slick pitcher with his fastball topping out in the low 90s. During his junior season, he led his high school to a District 11 Class 3A title and a staggering 158 strikeouts. John Kelly will have a great arm to mold, and Hubert is an under-the-radar pickup that will blossom into a solid relief pitcher with time.

In this day and age pitchers are throwing harder at a younger age there can never be enough pitchers in the rotation. Hubert fits right in that mold, and we can’t wait to see him in the Maroon & White.

New Texas A&M pitching coach Jason Kelly talks about his coaching style with TexAgs

New Texas A&M pitching coach John Kelly sits down with TexAgs to talk about his journey to Bryan-College Station

Texas A&M saw a major improvement in pitching from the 2023 season to the 2024 campaign.

The change came after the former Seattle Mariner pitching coordinator Max Weiner joined Jim Schlossnagle’s 2024 staff, replacing Nate Yeskie. It was a match made in heaven. The pitching staff spoke very highly of him throughout the season. His mound visits were light-hearted, and he usually had the pitchers locked back in for the remainder of the inning.

Then, less than 24 hours later, the rug was pulled from under them. Weiner followed Schlossnagle to Austin. However, almost all the pitching staff chose not enter the transfer portal, which was surprising. However, A&M still needed to make the right hire and Michael Earley did just that.

Earley brought in former Washington Huskie head coach and LSU pitching coach Jason Kelly. Kelly has a wealth of experience and is widely recognized as one of the best pitching coaches in the nation, with a stable of talent to work with. Below, you can watch his recent interview with TexAgs, in which he talks about his pitching style and his relationship with coach Earley.

What LHP Myles Patton can bring to the Texas A&M pitching staff

Texas A&M commit Myles Patton has the tools to becoming a major player in the Texas A&M pitching rotation

While Texas A&M has brought back a nice chunk of the record-setting offense after hiring Michael Earley, they had some big shoes to fill on the mound. There is a high possibility that both Ryan Prager and Chris Cortez will be drafted high enough not to come back to A&M, and phenomenal closer Evan Aschenbeck may not have his waiver for an additional season granted.

That means the Aggies will have to replace their most dynamic weekend lineup from the 2024 season. The trio combined for a 2.50 ERA, a 25-5 record, 239.6 innings, and 313 strikeouts. Texas A&M will still have a deep bullpen to work with, but Myles Patton will be a great arm that can steal a few starts and work some good innings in the middle of the game.

Even though Patton was mainly a starter during his time at Long Beach State, he has the tools and is highly competitive. This was echoed by his former coach, Bryan Peters, after a game last season.

“He’s completely earned it in every way possible from his work ethic, his character, his makeup, his leadership and most importantly he’s got Friday night stuff, demeanor and mentality,” said Peters. “He’s a very poised and competitive killer on the mound. What’s going on inside isn’t reflected on the outside. He’s in complete control with so much poise.”

Below, you can view Patton in action and what he can bring to Aggieland.
