Trevor Warner is making a case to move up to Double-A ball after a strong few games

Former Aggie third baseman Trevor Werner had himself a week after blasting three homers across two games.

Aggie football kicks off the 2023 season on September 2nd against the New Mexico Lobos at Kyle Field, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk a little baseball, especially when it comes to Aggie favorite Trevor Warner.

The Kansas City Royals decided to take a chance at pick 199 of the 7th round on Texas A&M third baseman Trevor Warner and he’s been impressive as of late. Currently, with the Single-A Columbia Fireflies, Werner has made his presence known in the short 16 games he’s been with the team so far. Below are just a few of stats from while with the Royals affiliate.

  • Batting average – .315
  • OBP/OPS – .398/1.014
  • Homeruns – 4
  • RBI – 19
  • Stolen Bases – 5

Three of the four homeruns have come in the last couple of games.

We are glad to see Werner making progress through the minors and hope to see him get called up in the next few years.

Every Texas A&M Aggie selected in the 2023 MLB Draft

Texas A&M is the only school in the nation to have three or more players picked in every MLB Draft since 2001, marking an unmatched 22-year streak.

The 2023 MLB Draft is officially in the books, and there was no shortage of Texas A&M prospects hearing their names called over the course of the three-day event.

While no one from the Maroon and White heard their name called on Day 1, the Aggies more than made up for it with six total selections across Days 2 and 3. In the aftermath, Texas A&M has had at least two players selected in every draft since 1984, which is the longest streak in the country. The Aggies also boast the achievement of being the only school in the nation to have three or more players picked in every MLB Draft since 2001.

That 22-year streak is three years longer than the next-closest active run, which is 19 years by the Vanderbilt Commodores.

There is plenty to be excited about at the moment if you’re an Aggie baseball fan, from the home run hiring of Max Weiner as Texas A&M’s new pitching coach to the trio of Aggie signees that withdrew their name from the MLB Draft, thus joining the program in 2024. And while the departures of the six Aggies who heard their names called is bittersweet, it’s rewarding to know they will represent the Maroon and White to the fullest at the next level.

Here is the rundown of every Aggie that was selected in the 2023 MLB Draft. Congratulations to all, and of course, BTHO the majors!

Three Texas A&M Aggies selected in the 2023 MLB Draft

Not one, not two, but three Texas A&M Aggies heard their names called Tuesday afternoon during the 2023 MLB Draft!

Not one, not two, but three former Texas A&M Aggies are officially turning professional as they make the next stop of their baseball careers.

Shortstop Hunter Haas, RHP Nathan Dettmer, and third baseman Trevor Werner all heard their names called in the 2023 MLB Draft on Tuesday afternoon. Haas was the first Aggie off the board, going No. 120 to the Tampa Bay Rays. Dettmer was taken No. 139 by the Oakland Athletics, and Werner rounded out the three after being taken No. 199 by the Kansas City Royals.

After beginning his collegiate career at Arizona State for two seasons, Haas transferred to A&M and made his impact felt on the diamond. He lead the team in walks (49) while ranked second in batting average (.323), on-base percentage (.447),, and OPS (.953), while also logging 10 homers.

Dettmer spent three seasons in College Station, logging 53 appearances with 48 starts, a 5.27 ERA, a 10-9 record as a starter, and 196 strikeouts with 94 walks.

In four seasons with Texas A&M, Werner appeared in 125 games to go alongside 111 starts. As an Aggie, he boasts a career .251 batting average, a .348 on-base percentage, and a .459 slugging percentage to go with 21 home runs, and 97 RBIs.

Congratulations to all three on this special moment! We know you’ll continue to represent the Maroon and White proud, and as always, Gig ’em and BTHO the majors!

Texas A&M Aggies ride balk-off finish to win series over No. 4 Florida Gators

A balk-off and a series winner at the same time?! Texas A&M used a magical finish win the series win over No. 4 ranked Florida on Sunday.

How many times have you witnessed not only a balk-off series-winner but also against one of the top baseball teams in the nation, no less? Your Texas A&M Aggies (28-20, 11-13) baseball team checked those two boxes Sunday afternoon.

After run-ruling the No. 4 Florida Gators (37-12, 15-9) on Saturday to tie the series at one win apiece, the Aggies found themselves tied on Sunday with the score reading 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth. With runners at second and third, Florida starting pitcher Brandon Neely flinched to balk pinch-runner Travis Chestnut home and secure a 3-2 victory in game three of this series.

That makes it two straight wins over the Gators and an official series win over the No. 4 ranked team in the country.

Despite being swept last weekend at the hands of Arkansas, the Maroon and White bounced back emphatically as winners of five of their last six games. Texas A&M is now just two games under .500 in the SEC (11-13) with two baseball weekends left to play.

Will Johnston took the mound for his second season start while pitching for a career-high 4.1 innings. He gave up one run on three hits and two walks, while also striking out five Gators. Trevor Werner scored in the fourth to tie the game 1-1 following Tyler Shelnut’s homer in the inning prior, while Jace LaViolette scored in the sixth to tie the game 2-2 after Wyatt Langford went yard.

Four home games remain for the Aggies as they prepare to welcome UTRGV at Blue Bell Park on Tuesday before Alabama faces off for a weekend series.
