Texas A&M freshman 3B Gavin Grahovac shares mindset ahead of College World Series

“It’s tough to lose a guy like Braden. Every guy has to step up now, like you saw the other day, Kaeden Kent with a huge swing and plays.”

Before the Texas A&M baseball team begins the College World Series this weekend, freshman third baseman Gavin Grahovac spoke to the media after his first practice in Omaha, Nebraska.

“Just gonna have the same mentality that we’ve had all year. Opening Day, every day, go out there, it might be a new field, big field, big stage, but gotta go out there, play our game and just have fun,” Grahovac said Thursday. “It’s tough to lose a guy like Braden. Great teammate, great person, built a great relationship with him. He’s going to continue to be a great teammate as we continue to go through this journey. Every guy has to step up now so whoever is coming off the bench and going to play, like you saw the other day, Kaeden Kent with a huge swing and huge plays.

“It’s going to be awesome, we’re going to have a great time and Braden is going to be here with us.”
