Texas A&M head coach Michael Earley is heading west to pick up a talented infielder out of Southern California. On Monday night, Maddox Latta confirmed via social media that he will be transferring to A&M.
Latta should be an intriguing addition to the Aggie infield, where every spot is up for grabs—except third base, which is expected to be manned by Gavin Grahovac. “Should be” is the operative phrase, though, as college baseball’s schedule often clashes with the MLB draft. Just like Aggie fans had to wait for Ryan Prager’s post-draft decision last season, the same uncertainty surrounds Latta. If he does make it onto campus, he brings immediate offensive output and speed on the basepaths.
Last season, Latta started 53 of 56 games and posted a .978 fielding percentage, nearly perfect through the back half of the year. It was also his breakout year offensively, slashing .362/.486/.503—a significant leap from the prior season. His performance earned him 2025 All-Big West First Team honors, the Big West Field Player of the Year award, and a spot as a Brooks Wallace Award semifinalist.
Latta would be a fantastic addition to the lineup, but Coach Earley and his staff will have to wait until after the 2025 MLB Draft for his official decision.
