Following a one-year hiatus in 2025 — after being the preseason top-ranked team in the country — the Aggies return to baseball’s big dance. They earned the No. 12 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
A&M was mightily impressive this season, going 39-14 so far and ranking 14th in RPI, the key metric used to determine the tournament field. Four of the last five NCAA Tournaments have included the Aggies. Its 18-11 record in SEC play was good enough to draw a No. 3 seed in the conference tournament.
Even though the Aggies lost their only SEC Tournament game this season, they still earned a top-16 seed, which means they will host a regional. They boast a dynamic offense that’s third in the SEC in team batting average and second in home runs.
Joining Texas A&M in the College Station Regional are: Lamar (34-25), which won the Southland Conference Tournament; Texas State (36-24), which played in the top midmajor conference in the country, the Sun Belt; and USC (43-15), which finished fourth in the Big Ten.
The tournament begins Thursday with a double-elimination format.
