Texas A&M 2024 MLB Draft tracker
Over the last month, the Texas A&M baseball team has been in a whirlwind. Usually, there is a lull once the season comes to an end, and the news sort of dies down while everyone waits for the MLB draft to start. That was anything but true for the Aggies.
He set social media on fire after falling to Tennessee in Game Three of the College World Series championship, and former A&M Jim Schlossnagle berated a journalist for asking him about his coaching future. In less than 24 hours, he took a job with Texas, causing A&M to rush into a coaching search. Team favorite Mike Earley was hired as the new head coach and hit the ground running, retaining players and hitting the transfer portal.
Now we are in the final stretch of A&M trying to round out their 2025 roster, but a lot of that will hinge on who is selected in the 2024 MLB Draft and if they actually sign a big league as opposed to returning to college. Below is an update on every Texas A&M baseball player that was taken in this year's draft.
