Top 50 prospect, shortstop Wyatt Sanford, reaffirms commitment to Texas A&M baseball team

Texas A&M baseball head coach Michael Earley hasn’t wasted time since being hired, bolstering his coaching staff , retaining players in the transfer portal and recruiting top prospects from the high school ranks.

Class of 2024 shortstop Wyatt Sanford reaffirmed his commitment to the Aggies on Sunday. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound graduate of Independence High School in Frisco, Texas is currently ranked No. 34 in the official MLB 2024 prospect rankings.

“One of the best defensive shortstops in the 2024 high school class, Sanford has range to both sides and solid-to-plus arm strength. There’s no doubt he can stay at the position, but his athleticism and tools would enable him to play almost anywhere on the diamond in a utility role. He produces consistent plus run times and is an asset on the bases,” MLB.com stated. “The Texas A&M recruit has a mature gap-to-gap approach and makes good swing decisions, but he has spread out more with his legs this spring in search of contact.

“He’ll probably need to rework his setup in pro ball and may top out at 15 homers per season.”

Texas A&M junior outfielder Braden Montgomery is slotted eighth in MLB’s rankings.
