ASUN baseball: Stetson celebrates NCAA Tournament trip after FGCU game
After their ASUN championship game against Florida Gulf Coast was scrapped due to bad weather, Stetson received the league’s NCAA Tournament spot.
Texas A&M baseball’s disappointing season came to an end on Monday, after the Aggies weren’t selected for the NCAA tournament.
Texas A&M was not listed as a First Four Out team by the NCAA selection committee, either, meaning it was at least four teams back of being picked for the tournament. The NCAA tournament miss marks the first time the preseason No. 1-ranked team missed out on making the field since 1991.
The Aggies went 30-26 this season, finishing 11-19 in SEC play. They finished the season ranked 50th in RPI, one year after falling to Tennessee in the national championship.
Texas A&M returned Gavin Grahovac, the SEC Freshman of the Year last season, and outfielder Jace LaViolette, a projected first-round pick, for 2025. However, it had to replace coach Jim Schlossnagle, who left the Aggies for Texas after the 2024 College World Series.
Grahovac also went down with a season-ending injury early in the season, which was one of many injuries for Texas A&M in 2025 as Gavin Kash and Caden Sorrell also missed extended time. Pitcher Shane Sdao also missed the entire season after having elbow surgery last offseason, and designated hitter Hayden Schott played the entire year with a torn meniscus, similar to the injury he played through in the College World Series last season.
Regardless, it was quite the disappointing season for Texas A&M, who was expected to be a powerhouse this season under first-year coach Michael Earley, who was the Aggies’ hitting coach in 2024.
Did Texas A&M make NCAA baseball tournament?
Texas A&M wasn’t included in the 64-team field for the NCAA baseball tournament on Monday when the full bracket was revealed.
Texas A&M also wasn’t particularly close to being in the field, either, as it wasn’t one of the First Four Out teams, according to the NCAA selection committee.
The Aggies went 30-26 this season, finishing 14th of 16 SEC teams in the regular season standings. Texas A&M was also notably swept at home by Missouri this season, which marked Missouri’s only three wins in SEC play this season. The Tigers were 16-39 on the year and 3-27 in conference play.
