After being picked to finish 13th in the SEC’s preseason poll, Texas A&M baseball closed out the regular season with its sixth conference win on Saturday, locking a double-bye in the league tournament and a potential top-eight national seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The Aggies’ series win over Mississippi State was made possible by the fireworks from one of the most dangerous lineups in college baseball. Matched up against a pitching staff that ranked third in the conference in team ERA entering the weekend, Texas A&M scorched the Bulldogs with 29 runs and six home runs.
It wasn’t all sunshine and bubbles for Michael Earley’s club this weekend, however. The Aggies’ pitching staff allowed 33 runs through three games, while giving up 11 home runs. Right-hander Aiden Sims was battling tightness this week, which caused him to be removed from the starting rotation against Mississippi State. Texas A&M’s bullpen must find a solution to the inconsistent outings on the mound entering postseason play.
Earley deserves to be in the coach of the year conversation for the major improvement from last year’s club, which failed to reach the postseason after being picked as the unanimous No. 1 team in the country. The Aggies were projected to finish at the bottom of the conference, but have silenced any doubt with their impressive play on the diamond this year.
