Texas A&M junior outfielder has entered the transfer portal
It’s been a busy two weeks for Texas A&M’s baseball. Jim Schlossnagle’s departure to take over the Texas Longhorns just a day after the Aggies College World Series Finals led to Aggies athletic director Trev Alberts hiring former hitting coach Michael Earley as the program’s 21st-ranked head coach. After 14 players entered the transfer portal, Earley’s hiring sparked a positive change. Seven Aggies, including star hitters Jace LaViolette and Gavin Grahovac, withdrew their names, leading to nearly every key contributor during A&M’s postseason run announcing their collective return. However, the roster will continue to see movement throughout the summer. It has been confirmed that junior outfielder Tab Tracy has entered the portal after two seasons with the program after transferring from Houston ahead of the 2023 campaign. Tracy did not see the field this past season but still possesses the skill set he showed in 20-plus plate appearances during the 2023 season, recording 14 hits and two stolen base hits with a .326 average.
