Key Highlights
- Texas A&M is one of four programs to have multiple players selected to this year's preseason teams. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHacopian joined the Aggies from Maryland, where the Gaithersburg native earned All-Big Ten honors in his two seasons with the Terps.
- Meanwhile, Sorrell is looking to rebound from an injury that prevented him from being on the diamond for the Aggies for some of his sophomore season. Both will be integral parts of Michael Earley's roster in his second year at the helm in Bryan-College Station, Texas, after the club lost game-changing bats like Jace LaViolette, who the Cleveland Guardians selected with the 27th pick in the 2025 MLB Draft.
- While the Aggies have massive shoes to fill in the absence of guys like LaViolette, landing a stellar infielder like Hacopian to take Kaeden Kent's place at shortstop is just what the team needed, following his departure to the New York Yankees in the third round of the draft. In just two years, Hacopian has started in 107 games, slashing .347/.465/.614 with 29 homers and 103 RBI.
- That kind of production, paired with the skills of Sorrell, could produce some fireworks in Texas A&M's lineup this year.
- Sorrell's midseason production boosted the Maroon and White when they needed it the most, as the Highland Village, Texas, native hit .337 with 32 RBI and 23 runs scored in 26 starts. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTexas A&M's first contest of the 2026 season is scheduled for Friday, Feb.
