Texas A&M Baseball will play its last non-conference weekend series, starting Friday versus Oakland. The Aggies will play a double header Friday starting at 2 p.m., due to expected rain on Saturday.
Texas A&M is ranked # 22 and is 11-1. Their only loss was to the # 1 ranked UCLA Bruins. The Aggies are off to a great start, and should feel great about it, after a disastrous 2025 season, however the SEC Conference schedule is looming.
Coming into today, there are 11 teams from the SEC ranked in the Top 25, six of them sit in the top 10. Those 11 teams have a combined record of 121-22. The #3 ranked Texas Longhorns remain undefeated. The SEC is deep and no conference weekend series can be taken for granted. There is a reason the SEC has dominated college baseball in modern times.
Texas A&M has scored 7 or more runs in 9 of 11 games. Maryland transfer Chris Hacopian has been limited to 3 games for the Aggies with back issues. In his 11 at bats on the season, he has 5 hits and 1 home run. Hacopian is ranked # 16 on MLB's top 100 draft prospects list.
