With all the chaos surrounding former Texas A&M head baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle’s shocking departure to join the Texas Longhorns in the same capacity just a day after the Aggies’ College World Series Finals Game 3 loss to Tennessee, there’s actually some positive news!
Despite the upheaval, the commitment of several key starters and contributors remains unwavering. This includes starting sophomore pitcher Shane Sdao, who has made it clear his playing future before heading to the MLB will be at Texas A&M.
Amid the news that nearly every roster member, including 2024 12th man and senior Ryan Targac, found out about Schlossnagle’s plans through social media, feelings and a sense of loyalty have likely diminished going forward, and no one blames these young men for entering the transfer portal.
Sdao’s return is huge for whoever takes Schlossnagle’s place. The sophomore finished the season with a 5-1 record, 55 strikeouts and a 2.98 ERA before sustaining an upper-body injury vs. Oregon in the super-regional round.
