Texas A&M Baseball has announced its starting pitchers for the Globe Life Field Series

Texas A&M head baseball Coach Jim Schlossnagle has named his three starting pitchers for the Globe Life Field Series this weekend.

After an eight-game home stand, No. 4 Texas A&M will have its first road series when they travel to Arlington for the Globe Life Field Series.

The pitching has been stellar compared to last season, and they are beating the teams they should beat with relative ease. In the one game where they did not score a million runs, the pitching held up well for a lower-scoring win over Wagner.

On Thursday, Schlossnagle announced Texas A&M’s three starting pitchers.

For Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Here is that lineup:

  • Friday: LHP redshirt sophomore Ryan Prager
  • Saturday: RHP junior Tanner Jones
  • Sunday: LHP sophomore Justin Lamkin

This is a strong lineup, and the work they are getting early in the season should pay dividends once league play starts.

Texas A&M will face Arizona State twice and USC once over the weekend at the Globe Life Series in Arlington starting at 6 p.m. on March 1.

No. 4 Texas A&M baseball team earns first narrow victory of season versus Wagner to remain unbeaten

The Aggies were challenged for the first time in the 2024 season on Saturday afternoon at Blue Bell Park but they held on for a 2-0 victory.

The No. 4 Texas A&M baseball team was challenged for the first time in the 2024 season on Saturday afternoon at Blue Bell Park.

The Aggies (6-0) held on for a 2-0 victory versus Wagner after scoring both runs in the first inning. Texas A&M leaned on its stellar pitching staff again.

Justin Lamkin (1-0) picked up his first win of the year by pitching the first 5.0 scoreless innings, allowing 3 hits and 1 walk with 5 strikeouts on 67 pitches. The sophomore left-hander has not allowed a run through two starts.

Senior LHP Evan Aschenbeck tossed the final 4.0 innings and allowed 2 hits and 1 walk with 7 Ks on 46 pitches. Aschenbeck earned the save to mark the longest by an Aggie since 2021 alumnus Jacob Palisch accomplished the feat as a graduate student against Arkansas in 2022.

With the victory, Texas A&M earned its second straight weekend series to begin the campaign for the first time under head coach Jim Schlossnagle. Saturday’s win is the third time in program history that the Aggies have earned a shutout in half of their first six matchups (1949 & 1983). Six runs allowed thus far is the fewest since 2011.

Texas A&M scored its two runs on an RBI single up the middle by junior right fielder Braden Montgomery to score freshman third baseman Graham Grahovac. Montgomery reached base safely for the 34th consecutive contest.

Following an error in the outfield on Montgomery’s hit, sophomore center fielder Jace LoViolette scored an unearned run. Grad student left fielder Hayden Schott went 3-for-4 at the plate to continue his streak as the only Aggie to tally at least one hit in each game this season.

Texas A&M goes for a sweep of the Seahawks from Staten Island tomorrow at 1 p.m.

Texas A&M Baseball has announced its starting pitchers for the series against Wagner

Texas A&M head baseball Coach Jim Schlossnagle has named his three starting pitchers for the series against Wagner of the weekend.

No. 4 Texas A&M pitching is off to a solid start and Coach Jim Schlossnagle has some confidence in putting out three starting pitchers before a series starts. Too often last season, we would get the starting pitcher for game one, then our favorite “TBD” for the other two games. This was mainly because they had to rotate through so many pitchers in a game that it was tough to tell who would be available the next day.

With new pitching coach Max Wiener at the helm, the team has a plan when they get to the mound and are staying in that strike zone more often than not.

On Thursday, Schlossnagle announced Texas A&M’s three starting pitchers for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Here is that lineup:

  • Friday: LHP redshirt sophomore Ryan Prager
  • Saturday: LHP sophomore Justin Lamkin
  • Sunday: RHP junior Tanner Jones

Prager and Lamkin get the nod again and Jones will get his first start this season.

Texas A&M will begin a three-game home series on Friday at 6 p.m. versus Wagner College of Staten Island, New York.

The Aggies officially began the season this weekend with a sweep of McNeese State, accomplishing something that hadn’t been done since 1918.

The Texas A&M baseball team officially began the 2024 season this weekend and it couldn’t have gotten off to a better start.

The Aggies (3-0) swept McNeese State at Blue Bell Park to kick off the campaign. Texas A&M outscored the Cowboys 31-1 over three games and accomplished history in the process.

According to Kyle Stafford of Texas A&M Athletics Communications, the pitching staff allowing only one run through the first three games is the fewest in program history since 1918. The Aggies won 15-0 on Friday, 6-1 on Saturday and 10-0 on Sunday.

Ryan Prager earned the season-opening win by pitching 5.0 innings, allowing 1 hit and 1 hit by pitch with 9 strikeouts. Isaac Morton and Brad Rudis each pitched 2.0 innings in relief.

Brock Peery took the win on Saturday after pitching 0.2 innings of relief without giving up a hit, walking one batter and striking out another. Justin Lamkin got the start and went 3.2 innings, allowing 2 hits, 2 walks and 2 HBPs with 6 Ks.

Evan Aschenback gave up the lone run of the weekend, pitching 2.2 innings in relief, allowing 3 hits with 4 punchouts. Zane Badmaev earned the save by pitching 2.0 innings in relief of Peery, giving up 1 hit and 1 walk with 3 Ks.

Shane Sdao started on the bump Sunday. He pitched 5.0 innings, allowing 4 hits and 1 walk with 5 strikeouts. Luke Jackson allowed 2 hits in 1.0 inning pitched. Peery (0.2 IP) and Josh Stewart (0.1 IP) each tallied 1 K in their respective appearances. The series finale ended after seven innings due to the run rule.

Texas A&M Baseball’s 2024 season begins on Friday, Feb. 16, as head coach Jim Schlossnagle’s most talented squad in his tenure will take the field to host McNeese State for their opening weekend series in Blue Bell Park.

Throughout the offseason, we at Aggies Wire have touched on A&M’s elite batting lineup, led by returning All-SEC outfielder Jace LaViolette and former Stanford OF Branden Montgomery. Still, the Aggies starting pitching has many of us eager to see what they’ll bring to the table throughout the season.

On Thursday, Schlossnagle announced Texas A&M’s three starting pitchers for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Here is that lineup:

  • Friday: LHP redshirt sophomore Ryan Prager
  • Saturday: LHP sophomore Justin Lamkin
  • Sunday: LHP sophomore Shane Sdao

It’s no surprise that all three young men have been chosen to lead the way to start off the season, as the roster is loaded with left-handed pitching talent, also including junior Troy Wansing, freshman Kaiden Wilson, and senior Evan Aschenbeck, who we will see throughout the season.

After two scoreless innings, Hunter Haas put the Aggies on the board first with a bunt single, followed by a triple from Trevor Werner. Then, thanks to leadoff walks from Jordan Thompson and Ryan Targac, the floodgates were open in a three-run fourth inning.

Austin Bost added a double, Brett Minnich chipped in with a groundout, while Max Kaufer capped things off with a sac fly.

The fifth and final run of the day came off a sac fly from Thompson in the fifth, who added two walks to his stat line. Werner went 3-for-4 on the day with a triple, an RBI, and a stolen base.
