With the announcement Texas A&M has hired Michael Earley as the baseball program’s newest head coach, nearly every player who entered the transfer portal is expected to remove their name. That includes star hitters Jace LaViolette and Gavin Grahovac.
As Michael Earley fills out his coaching staff, there’s promising news for the team. High-priority transfer first baseman Matthew Bergevin will stick with the Aggies despite his recent visit to the Texas Longhorns after former head coach Jim Schlossnagle departed for Austin earlier this week.
During the 2023 season, Bergevin hit .287/.418/.627 and a team-leading 18 home runs. His highly impressive 1.000 OPS infused consistency and power to an already dynamic batting lineup. Heading into the 2025 season, Bergevin will likely battle with fellow first baseman Blake Binderup for the starting spot in the depth chart.
While Bergevin is one of the first players to announce his pledge to play for Earley, expect more news on that front throughout the coming week.
