Texas A&M baseball has lost one of its star pitchers ahead of the 2025 season

Texas A&M LHP Shane Sdao will reportedly miss the 2025 season

Tough news regarding one of Texas A&M baseball’s star pitchers ahead of head coach Mike Earley’s first season leading the program: Incoming junior left-handed pitcher Shane Sdao will reportedly miss the 2025 season after recently undergoing surgery.

During the Aggies’ College World Series run this summer, Sdao injured his elbow during the Super Regionals vs. the Oregon Ducks and did not return for the rest of the postseason. Timing is everything, and according to TexAgs analyst Ryan Brauninger, Sdao’s attempt to rehab the injury did not go as planned, leading to his recent surgery to repair the ligaments.

This offseason, Earley’s efficient transfer portal success included adding more depth and star power to the pitching lineup, including for Long Beach State LHP Myles Patton, paired with the return of ace pitcher Ryan Prager, who opted to forgo his MLB future after being drafted by the Los Angeles Angels.

Given Sdao’s injury status, he will be eligible to redshirt this season for an extra year if he chooses.

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.

Texas A&M lands commitment from coveted LHP Myles Patton from Long Beach State

Texas A&M adds another pitcher through the transfer portal over the weekend

Texas A&M stays hot in the transfer portal, bringing in another pitcher for new pitching coach John Kelly to work with. This time it’s Myles Patton a 6-foot-3, 200-pound left-hander out of Long Beach State. He closed his sophomore season as an honorable mention to the 2024 Big West all-conference team.

Patton’s season was cut short due to a back injury but that did not keep him from being one of the top pitching transfers in the portal. His is also slated to be ready for the 2025 season. You can check out Patton’s confirmation via “X” here.
