A&M Vs Ut Baseball: Who Will Win?
Contents
The A&M Aggies take on the UT Longhorns in a battle on the diamond. Who will come out on top?
A&M’s Pitching
A&M’s pitching has been on fire lately. In their last three games, they have only allowed a total of four runs. This is thanks in large part to their ace, John Smith. Smith has an ERA of 1.69 and has struck out 50 batters in only 31 innings pitched. He is definitely the key to A&M’s success on the mound.
A&M’s Starting Pitching
A&M will be sending out senior right-hander Grayson Long to start the game. Long has been the Aggies’ best pitcher this season, boasting a 8-2 record and 3.09 ERA in 16 starts. He’s coming off a strong performance against Florida in the SEC tournament, where he allowed two runs on four hits in six innings.
Long will be followed by junior right-hander Ryan Hendrix, who has been excellent out of the bullpen this season. Hendrix has a 1.48 ERA in 24 relief appearances, and he’s coming off a scoreless appearance against Arkansas in the SEC tournament.
Texas A&M will be counting on its pitching to carry them to victory against a powerful UT offense. The Longhorns are led by sluggers Tres Barrera and Zach Zubia, who have combined for 27 home runs this season. UT also has speed at the top of their lineup with center fielder Bryan Reynolds, who has stolen 28 bases this season.
A&M’s Relievers
Texas A&M will look to their relievers to shut down the UT offense and preserve a lead. Cole Martian, Zach Ledvina, and Fernando Garcia are all experienced arms that have been pitching well as of late. Martian has been lights out since returning from an injury, Ledvina has been very effective against left-handed hitters, and Garcia has shown the ability to get big outs in pressure situations. If A&M can get a lead, they should be able to hold on to it.
A&M’s Hitting
A&M is on a nine game winning streak and their success has been due in large part to their hitting. The team is batting an impressive .282 on the season and has scored an average of 7.4 runs per game. When compared to UT, A&M’s batting statistics are much better. UT is only batting .247 as a team and is averaging 6.5 runs per game. A&M also has a big advantage in the power department.

A&M’s Bench
The Aggies have a strong lineup with good hitters throughout, but their bench is where they really shine. They have a number of players who can come in and make an impact, which is key in a long tournament like the NCAA baseball tournament.
A&M has a number of players who can come off the bench and hit for power, which will be important in the late innings of close games. They also have several speedsters who can pinch run or play defense in the outfield. Overall, the Aggies have a deep and talented bench that should help them make a run in the NCAA tournament.
Ut’s Pitching
Ut’s Starting Pitching
Giving the start to senior Nick Chisolm will be head coach Tim Tadlock’s decision, but all signs point to the right-hander getting the ball on Friday. Chisolm has been the team’s most consistent starter all season, and he’ll be looking to build off his seven-inning outing against Arkansas last week in which he allowed just one run on four hits.
If Chisolm can go deep into the game and keep the Aggies’ offense off balance, it’ll put a lot of pressure on their pitching staff early in the series. That could be enough to give Texas A&M the advantage they need to come away with a win in game one.
Ut’s Relievers
Ut’s relievers have been strong all season, but they will be put to the test against an A&M lineup that is tough to retire. In particular, closer Cole Mrsic will need to be at his best to shut down the Aggies in the late innings.
Mrsic has been one of the best closers in the nation this season, posting a 0.69 ERA and 15 saves in 27 appearances. He has done an excellent job of pitching out of jams and shutting down opponents in pressure situations.
The rest of Ut’s relief corps has also been very good this season, with a combined ERA of 3.14. They will need to be sharp against an A&M team that is capable of putting up some runs in a hurry.
Ut’s Hitting
The Texas A&M Aggies are set to take on the University of Texas Longhorns in a three-game series this weekend. The Aggies are coming in hot, having won their last five games. The Longhorns, on the other hand, have lost four of their last six. Who will win this weekend’s series?

Ut’s Bench
The UT’s baseball team’s bench is a big reason why they have been so successful this season. They have a lot of depth and experience on the bench, and they are always ready to step up and contribute when called upon.
The UT’s have a strong lineup, but their bench has been even better. They have a lot of guys who can come in and make an impact, and they have been a big part of the team’s success this season.
If the UT’s are going to win the A&M series, their bench will need to step up and contribute. They have the depth and experience to do it, and they will need to be at their best if the UT’s are going to come out on top.
Who Will Win?
The Texas A&M Aggies and the University of Texas Longhorns are two of the most storied baseball programs in the country. The two teams have met over 200 times on the diamond, with each team winning over 100 games. The most recent meeting between the two teams was in 2019, when the Longhorns won 3-2.
Looking at the two teams’ records this season, it is clear that the Aggies are the better team. They have a record of 32-15, while the Longhorns are 27-20. The Aggies also have a better batting average (.277 to .259) and ERA (3.27 to 4.50) than the Longhorns.
In addition, the Aggies have some key players that will be pivotal in their quest to defeat the Longhorns. Isaiah Campbell is a right-handed pitcher who has an ERA of just 2.48 and has struck out 79 batters in 79 innings pitched. Bryce Blaum is a leftfielder who is batting .322 with 7 home runs and 37 RBIs.
The Longhorns do have some players that could make things interesting, however. Austin Wood is a right-handed pitcher who has an ERA of just 3.38 and has struck out 84 batters in 90 innings pitched. Zach Zubia is a first baseman who is batting .305 with 11 home runs and 42 RBIs.
It is clear that the Aggies are the better team on paper, but anything can happen in baseball. The Longhorns have pulled off upset victories against superior teams before, so they will not be intimidated by their rivals from College Station. Ultimately, it will come down to which team wants it more on game day.
