The wait is over for head coach Jim Schlossnagle and his Aggie baseball squad, as the program has been named as the 2-seed in the Stanford Regional in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, where they will face 3-seed Cal State Fullerton (31-22) on Friday, June 2 at 9:00 pm CT. On ESPN2. The Titans will make their first Tournament appearance since 2018.
Regional host Stanford (38-16) will also take on 4-seed San Jose State (31-22) on Friday. For Texas A&M, it’s been a long and winding road to return to the Tournament for the second consecutive season in Schlossnagle’s second season with the program, where he led the Aggies to the College World Series semifinals in 2022.
Coming off their incredible showing in the SEC Tournament last week, Texas A&M (36-25) earned resume-building wins over Tennessee, LSU, South Carolina, and Arkansas, eventually falling to the Vanderbilt Commodores in the Championship game on Sunday afternoon.

After their performance last week, many expected the Aggies to land as a 2-seed in some Regional. Still, the challenge is steep because they will travel to Palo Alto, California, over 1,800 miles away from College Station, but this team has what it takes after facing top-tier SEC completion all season long.
