Head coach Jim Schlossnagle has the Texas A&M baseball team off to its hottest start in almost a decade, sitting at 11-0. The Aggies have been a consensus Top 10 team since the preseason and have not disappointed from the start.
Braden Mongomery and Jace LaViolette are living up to the All-American status. At the same time, freshman phenom Gavin Grahovac has been as good as advertised through the first 11 games of the season.
With A&M being one of the few remaining undefeated teams in the country, one would think they might have cracked the Top five in the latest rankings. However, some of the knocks on this team are that their schedule has been somewhat lackluster, and they tend to strike out a little more than desired.
They still did move up but only one spot in the USA TODAY Coaches poll from No. 7 to No. 6. The top two spots remained unchanged, with Wake Forest and LSU in the 1 and 2 spots. Arkansas jumped two spots to No. 3, TCU dropped one to No. 4, and Oregon State moved into the No. 5 spot.
