After battling through the adversity of an illness last season that caused him weight loss and significantly impacted his performance, Texas A&M’s 6-foot-4 righty announced he is returning for his junior year.
Montgomery, Texas, native Weston Moss added to numerous sources of good news for the Aggie baseball program on Monday by making his decision to remain in College Station official via social media. Before facing the sickness in 2025, Moss recorded a 3.19 ERA and 50 strikeouts through 48 innings of work. In 22 appearances on the mound, he also logged a 6-3 record and one save, while also holding opponents to a .215 batting average.
With eight of his teammates selected in the 2025 MLB Draft, Moss was also on the board and awaiting his name to be called. According to TexAgs reporter Ryan Brauninger, he took numerous calls from franchises in the Major Leagues, but did not feel like anything was worth leaving Aggieland.
While his stellar numbers on the rubber stand out, his fiery personality and heart make him one of the most beloved Aggies on the roster.
Heading into a season in which great bullpen performances will be needed, his announcement sparks much excitement throughout the Aggie fan base. A prime example of his clutch ability came when he tossed six shutout innings and six strikeouts in relief against Kentucky on March 28.
Following his outstanding outing facing the Wildcats’ lineup, second-year head coach praised Moss for his work on the mound for the Maroon and White.
Ranked as the No. 6 right-handed pitcher in the state’s 2023 class by Perfect Game USA, Moss made waves for his mentality and swagger. The No. 17 overall prospect in Texas reached a 95 mph velocity as a junior.
When he arrived on Texas A&M’s campus, he secured a 3-0 record with a 4.56 ERA and 26 punchouts. Moss improved those numbers last year and instantly displayed a knack for setting hitters down and dominating lineups in the most competitive conference in the country.
His return for Earley’s club in 2026 will provide an exhilarating personality on the mound for the Aggies in a much-needed position. Texas A&M’s bullpen has faced a plethora of challenges over the last year and will need all the help it can get against the powerful lineups in the SEC.
