Former Texas A&M outfielder Braden Montgomery has been traded to the White Sox

Before even stepping on the field Braden Montgomery has been traded to the Chicago White Sox

The 2024 Texas A&M baseball team had a historic run ending the season as the College World Series runner-up after an exciting series against a great Tennessee Vols team.

A major reason for that run was because of Stanford transfer Braden Montgomery who came in and made an instant impact. Even with his season cut short due to injury he didn’t too down and was the biggest cheerleader for the team. Before his injury, he was on pace to hit over 30 home runs and 90+ RBIs ranking him as the top overall performer on the Aggies team.

There was some hope that Montgomery might return to A&M for his senior year, however, as an expected high first-rounder coming back realistically didn’t make sense. Montgomery was drafted by the Boston Red Sox with the 12th pick of the first round becoming one of the highest picks in the school’s history.

On Dec. 11, approximately five months after the draft and before even touching the field it was announced that Montgomery was part of a five-person trade that sent him and three others from the Red Sox to the Chicago White Sox for Garrett Crochet. No matter where he is once he finally takes the field, I’m willing to bet he will be just as impactful as he was in the Maroon & White.

2026 P/INF Chandler Hart has committed to Texas A&M baseball

Texas A&M baseball earns another commitment from a talented 2026 pitcher/infielder out of Allen, TX.

Texas A&M baseball coach Michael Earley continues to stack pitchers, getting a commitment from a top player in Texas. On Wednesday, pitcher Chandler Hart, out of Allen, TX, announced via social media that he will join the Aggies in Bryan, College Station.

Hart is an LHP who gets time at first base and has a nice swing. He is one of the top 2-way players in the state of Texas who towers over opponents at the mound, measuring in at 6’5″ and 200 pounds. He throws in the low 90s for his fastball, and his command of his pitches has been leading to a ton of swings & misses.

His frame alone as a junior in high school already has him on the radar of a few pro clubs, making this another “wait-and-see” situation if he makes it onto campus after his senior season.

The 2024 Texas A&M baseball team will be honored at Kyle Field on Saturday

The 2024 Texas A&M baseball team will finally get the recognition they deserve at Kyle Field on Saturday

Last season was very special for the Texas A&M baseball team. As a preseason top-10 team, they met expectations by reaching the College World Series Championship. A heartbreaking series loss hurt, but it ignited the program with some eagerness about the future.

Even though we typically don’t throw parades for second place, they deserved to be recognized for taking A&M to a national championship in one of the big three sports. Instead, the little shine the players should have received was hijacked by the announcement that head coach Jim Schlossnagle was leaving, taking the coaching staff with him.

To add insult to injury, he did it less than 24 hours after hinting he was staying in Aggieland to build something. Then, to leave for Texas, the arch-nemesis of A&M set college sports on fire. So, a national search kicked off, and they ended up right back at home, hiring assistant coach Mike Earley as the new head coach. He was able to retain a majority of the roster and will have a tier squad for the 2025 season

According to TexAgs’ Ryan Brauninger, the 2023-2024 team will be recognized during Texas A&M’s season finale vs. the Texas Longhorns on Saturday night.

Where does the Texas A&M baseball’s 2025 class rank on signing day

Check out where the Texas A&M baseball team was ranked in the Baseball America rankings after National Signing Day

National Signing Day wrapped up on Wednesday for multiple sports, and college baseball rankings are starting to drop. After a monster 2024 season and a controversial coaching change, Texas A&M was able to pull in a top-10 2025 recruiting class.

Like most rankings, the SEC holds a majority of the top spots. In Baseball America rankings seven of the ten are SEC teams and one through six are all SEC teams. The Aggies is right in the middle with the No. 5 behind 2024 College World Series Champion Tennessee who came in at No. 4. There are a few caveats regarding these rankings.

The first is that there are still a few of the top recruits that have not signed yet. While that’s simple enough the more interesting issue is the MLB draft, and which players make it on campus or not. But for now, you can view the rankings as of Nov 13 below.

  1. LSU Tigers
  2. Texas Longhorns
  3. Vanderbilt Commodores
  4. Tennessee Vols
  5. Texas A&M Aggies
  6. Mississippi State Bulldogs
  7. Virginia Cavaliers
  8. Wake Forest Demon Deacons
  9. Ole Miss Rebels
  10. Oklahoma State Cowboys

2026 INF/P Harper Gates has committed to Texas A&M baseball

Texas A&M baseball earns commitment from a talented 2026 infielder out of Tomball, TX

Texas A&M baseball head coach Michael Earley continues to roll on the recruiting trail, gaining another commitment from another top player in Texas. On Tuesday, infielder Harper Gates, out of Tomball, TX, announced via social media that he will join the Aggies in Bryan, College Station.

Gates, like his teammate Catcher Hopkins, who recently committed, is one of the top players in Texas who can do a little bit of everything. He’s a capable pitcher with a high 80s fastball and a solid glove in the infield. He has the frame to add weight at 6’4″ and 175 pounds, and his power at the plate is just reaching its early potential.

If most of the 2025 and 2026 classes make it on campus, this will be one of the deepest Texas A&M rosters we have seen in a while. Gates is another one of those pieces that utility guys that will give the coaching staff plenty of lineup options and competition to keep the team sharp.

2026 INF/P Trent Vilade has committed to Texas A&M baseball

Texas A&M baseball earns another commitment from a talented 2026 infielder/pitchers out of Frisco, TX.

Texas A&M baseball coach Michael Earley continues to stack pitchers, getting a commitment from a top player in Texas. On Sunday, pitcher Trent Vilade, out of Frisco, TX, announced via social media that he will join the Aggies in Bryan, College Station.

Vilade is a RHP who also gets time in the infield due to having a sure glove. He is one of the top 2-way players in the state of Texas and was No. 5 in ERA (0.75) Top 10 Private school ERA leaders of 2024. At the plate, he hits left-handed and pulls a lot of balls to left field for extra bases.

His ability to give innings on the mound and hit puts him in an interesting box, depending on how the Aggie staff views his role. Pitching depth will be the key to where Vilade might be able to make the most impact once he steps on Olsen Field.

2026 C/Utility Catcher Hopkins has committed to Texas A&M baseball

Texas A&M baseball earns commitment from a talented 2026 catcher out of Tomball, TX

Texas A&M baseball coach Michael Earley landed a talented catcher, getting a commitment from a top player in Texas. On Thursday, switch-hitting catcher, Catcher Hopkins, out of Tomball, TX, announced via social media that he will join the Aggies in Bryan-College Station.

Hopkins is another athletic player who could add to his frame. Having power from both sides of the plate he led Tomball to a 2024 6A state title and was named to the State Championship All-Tournament Team. He can play all over the field and his hitting makes him a very valuable depth piece who can eventually get a few starts.

He was committed under Coach Jim Schlossnagle then reopened his recruitment when he took the job at Texas. Like several other Texas A&M recruits after speaking with Coach Early and the new staff, he recommitted trusting them to help him reach all his goals as a player.

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.

Texas A&M baseball’s 2025 non-conference has been revealed

Here are the dates and times for every non-conference game on Texas A&M 2025 baseball schedule

Texas A&M’s 2025 baseball season is getting closer and closer. New head coach Michael Earley inherited the program after serving as the hitting coach under former head coach Jim Schlossnagle. He is now with the Texas Longhorns after his disastrous transition this summer.

While Schlossnagle and the Aggies are officially old news, excitement is back in College Station ahead of Earley’s first season with a stacked roster after nearly every starter outside of closer Evan Aschenbeck has returned, including star hitters Jace LaViolette and Gavin Grahovic.

After two exhibition games, the returners are looking solid. Still, the newcomers to the roster, including former Texas Tech infielder Gavin Kash, have made an impact at the plate, while several new faces on the mound, including former Long Beach State P Myles Patton, have looked the part.

Before entering SEC play, Texas A&M will open the season with four consecutive home games vs. Elon, McNeese, Cal Poly, and Texas State before heading to Houston to play in the Astros Foundation College Classic, starting with facing Arizona on February 28th.

Here is the rest of the non-conference schedule:

2026 INF/P Connor Comeau has committed to Texas A&M baseball

Texas A&M baseball earns commitment from a talented 2026 infielder out of Austin, TX

Texas A&M baseball coach Michael Earley continues to roll, getting a commitment from a top player in Texas. On Monday, infielder Conner Comeau, out of Austin, TX, announced via social media that he will join the Aggies in Bryan, College Station.

Comeau is another commit who might not make it onto campus to play a game at Olsen Field. At 6′-4″ and 180 lbs., he has a good frame to build on and is one good offseason away from having MLB size. The 2026 grad has a Perfect Game grade of 10 and is a top-30 shortstop in the class.

He will be an interesting name to keep an eye on when the MLB draft rolls around, but for now, we’ll congratulate Comeau on his commitment and wish him a healthy season.
