Texas A&M Baseball (38-27 last season) has continued to add depth and potential starters through the transfer portal this offseason, including Hayden Schott (OF, Columbia), Jackson Appel (C, Pennsylvania), Ali Camarillo (INF, Call State Fullerton), Ted Burton (INF, Michigan), Zane Badmaev (RHP, Tarleton State), Tanner Jones (RHP, Jacksonville State), and Eldridge Armstong (RHP, San Diego State).
As of late Saturday night, news dropped when no one was paying attention, as former Fairfield third baseman and 2023 MAAC Player of the Year Charlie Pagliarini will officially transfer to the Aggies for the 2023-2024 campaign. With most of the 2022 infield returning next season, the Aggies have already lost Austin Bost and Brett Minnich, making Pagliarini’s experience and vast production a home run addition for the Maroon and White.

As impressive as last season, Charlie Pagliarini’s performance surprisingly fell under the radar, breaking six Fairfield records, including home runs (24), RBI (97), total bases (177), slugging percentage (.851), Walks (49), and on-base percentage (.528), while batting .399 on the year and leading the Stags to a 37-18 record before falling to Rider in the conference championship matchup.
Using his extra year of COVID eligibility, Pagliarini could be the missing piece for a Texas A&M team looking to return to the College World Series for the second time in Jim Schlossnagle’s first three seasons.
