On Sunday, Texas A&M’s baseball program found its new head coach after Jim Schlossnagle’s shocking departure to arch-rival Texas just one day after the Aggies played for a National Championship, sending the sports world into a frenzy over easily avoidable problems created on Schlossnagle’s end.
Bring on former three-year hitting coach Michael Earley to head the program after briefly following Schlossnagle to Texas. The former Aggie assistant is a favorite among the roster, and his recruiting background and keen understanding of where the college game is headed are just some of the many reasons he was chosen over several veteran candidates.
Nearly a dozen players entered the transfer portal after Schlossnagle’s exit, and on Friday, reactions to Earley becoming a legitimate candidate from nearly every 2024 starter and reserve player poured in. Star hitters Gavin Grahovac and Jace LaViollete led the charge in supporting the hire.
Hearing all weekend of a potential “domino set to fall” regarding a potential staff hire for player acquisition, Tuesday morning provided a huge jolt of energy for Earley ahead of his official Aggie introduction, as SEC Freshman of the Year Gavin Grahovac announced his official return for the 2025 season.
Standing at 6-2 and 220 pounds, Grahovac, who is destined to be a future MLB first-round pick, shot on the scene in College Station, breaking the program’s freshman home run record with 23 on the year while recording 85 hits for a solid .298, and batting over .300 for most of the regular season.
Grahovac is just one of several names deemed to return to the program this week, so stay tuned!
