Texas A&M baseball’s sophomore infielder made the most of his increased role in the Aggies’ series opener against Ole Miss on Friday night.
Michael Earley’s club has continued to deal with a devastating injury bug in recent weeks, resulting in many changes to the lineup. One of those adjustments includes Fort Worth, Texas, native Sawyer Farr getting his opportunity to make an impact as a starter at second base for the Aggies.
Farr played a significant role in Texas A&M’s defensive success by turning two double plays, which prevented Ole Miss from extending its lead.
Perfect Game’s No. 3 shortstop in the 2025 class made 31 starts in 39 appearances during his freshman campaign in Bryan-College Station. He recorded four RBIs, drew 17 walks and went a perfect 5-for-5 on the basepaths. With Chris Hacopian transferring from Maryland during the offseason, Farr has seen less time on the diamond for the Aggies in 2026. He has started in just nine contests, including his second start of SEC play on Friday night, and boasts a .258 batting average with eight hits and seven RBIs.
While Hacopian remains the designated hitter until he gets back to full health, Farr has held his own in the infield. He boasts a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage through 15 appearances this season. He still has room for improvement with his plate approach, but he secured one of Texas A&M’s three runs against Ole Miss in Game 1.
As Earley continues to shuffle the lineup with Nico Partida, Boston Kellner and Hacopian dealing with injuries, Farr has stepped up massively when called upon.
