The eighth Texas A&M baseball player from the talented 2024 roster has been selected in the 2024 MLB Draft, as starting shortstop Ali Camarillo, a California transplant, could be headed back to the Golden State after the Oakland Athletics picked with the 346th overall selection.

Camarillo still has the option of returning to the program for what would be his final collegiate season, but as of right now, expect the smooth operator to start his journey in the minors before (hopefully) making the big league roster. A former Little League World Series star, Camarillo's Aggie career was short but highly memorable.

Helping the best team in Texas A&M baseball history make it all the way to the College World Series Finals for the first time in program history, the junior hit .288 with 72 hits, 36 RBIs, and seven home runs on the year. At the same time, his elite defensive skills will surely play a factor in what could be a fast rise through the minors.
