Ryan Prager provides an update on his pitching future with Texas AM

What a week it was for Texas A&M’s baseball program.

The sudden and shocking news that head coach Jim Schlossnagle would leave his position to take over at the University of Texas just one day after the Aggies’ 6-5 loss in the College World Series Finals left us all very confused.

However, just five days later, Texas A&M athletic director Trev Alberts found his successor among a reported nine coaches in consideration. Former Aggie hitting coach Michael Earley has become the program’s 21st head coach, bringing energy and excitement to an already established roster. His proven recruiting background is certainly a plus for the program’s future.

After his introduction and before the Q&A portion of Tuesady’s event, GigEm247 beat writer Carter Karels was able to pull Aggies ace pitcher Ryan Prager aside for a couple of questions regarding his playing future, as he was joined by several players on the roster to attend the event.

Still weighing his options, Prager is excited about the hire, noting that Earley has already brought in an “elite” coaching staff. At the same time, he and the team’s chaotic week in Omaha, combined with Schlossnagles’ departure, is certainly something he’ll never forget.

Concerning a potential return in 2025, Karels asked that very question, especially with star hitters Jace LaViolette and Gavin Grahovac announcing their returns earlier in the day:

“We’ll see what happens. A lot of conversations to happen with some people in my corner, which includes my family and some other people we rely on. We’ll see what happens over the next couple of weeks, and go from there.”

Ryan Prager finished his redshirt sophomore season on a high note with a 9-1 record, 124 strikeouts, and a 2.95 ERA. For those interested, here is the full interview with Carter Karels.
