Texas A&M’s 2025 baseball season is all but over, mainly due to last weekend’s disastrous series loss to last-place Missouri inside Blue Bell Park. Aggie fans watched their once-promising team look lifeless against a Missouri squad that was 0-24 in the conference play entering the weekend.
Blame can be spread throughout the team, especially the offense, which recorded just two hits in the final two games of the series. The pitching only failed during Game 3 when the Tigers took advantage of freshman Aiden Sims, which wasn’t a surprise.
After defeating Tennessee, Arkansas and LSU, the Aggies proved they could hang with any team, but due to the early season slip-ups and poor overall record, it will be a miracle if the Aggies make the postseason. Sadly, more negative news came out regarding the future of Texas A&M’s pitching staff.
One of the injured members on the depth chart, senior Troy Wansing, has been dealing with health issues the last two seasons. He did not appear in a game this season and appeared in only one in 2024. Wansing took to social media to sadly announce he will retire from baseball.
“It’s been nearly two years since I last threw a truly competitive pitch.”
“In that time, I’ve faced a major back surgery and many other injuries. It’s gotten to the point where my body has reached its limit, pushing me to make the decision to medically retire from baseball.”
Injuries, especially long-term shoulder or knee issues have derailed countless pitching careers, and after transferring from Purdue before the 2023 season, Wansing could not stay healthy. Despite his struggles, Wansing showed potential, recording 72 strikeouts with a 5.50 ERA during the 2023 campaign.
