3 Texas A&M baseball players will play in the Cape Cod League this summer
3 Texas A&M baseball players will play in the Cape Cod League this summer Texas A&M's 2025 baseball season ended disappointingly after missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nearly 20 seasons. While some believed first-year head coach Michael Earley would not be retained, Texas A&M Athletic Director Trev Alberts made the brash decision to bring him back for the 2026 season. With Earley's return, the 37-year-old skipper will need to replenish the roster after star outfielder Jace LaViolette announced his departure, likely to enter the 2025 MLB Draft. Meanwhile, several veterans, including starting pitchers Ryan Prager and Justin Lamkin, have yet to decide on their future. However, outfielders Gavin Grahovac and Terrence Kiel III were the first players to announce their return, followed by sophomore catcher Bear Harrison. This week, it was revealed that three Aggies, including Bear Harrison, will participate in the annual Cape Cod League, with pitcher Luke Jackson set to play for the Chatham Anglers. In contrast, Harrison and second baseman Ben Royo, who has yet to announce his return, will play for the Falmouth Commodores. This is a good sign that Jackson and Royo will both return to the Aggies in 2026, and if shortstop Kaeden Kent follows suit, Texas A&M's 2026 infield will be well equipped, especially with Cliff Pennington joining the staff as the program's newest infield coach. The Cape Cod League is another opportunity for rising college players to continue playing throughout the summer, avoiding any drop-off and sharpening their skill sets.

Where does Andrew Fischer rank in top 150 prospects for 2025 MLB draft?
Where does Andrew Fischer rank in top 150 prospects for 2025 MLB draft? One week remains in the 2025 SEC baseball regular season. Ahead of the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Alabama, MLB released its list of the top 150 prospects for the 2025 MLB draft. Among the prospects, Tennessee infielder Andrew Fischer ranks No. 35 overall. He is the No. 1 first baseman and No. 5 third baseman on the prospect list. "Fischer's signature tool is his plus power that works to all fields, the product of a left-handed swing with bat speed and loft, strength in his 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame and a slugging mindset," Fischer's scouting profile says. "He showed that he can launch balls in the air with wood bats last summer in the Cape Cod League." Fischer began his collegiate career at Duke in 2023 where he made the All-ACC freshman team. He played the 2024 season at Ole Miss before transferring to Tennessee. Through 53 games, Fischer has recorded a .317 batting average with 53 hits, 52 RBIs, 21 home runs, 54 walks and four stolen bases with Tennessee.
