Aggies land highly sought-after reliever

When University of Washington reliever Grant Cunningham went into the transfer portal July 2, he immediately became one of the most-coveted players available. A number of SEC programs, including the former A&M staff at Texas, were in pursuit. But after an official visit to Texas A&M last week, Cunningham decided he'd follow his former coach, Jason Kelly, to Aggieland.

Cunningham had a 3-4 record with a 2.86 ERA in 50 innings last year, striking out 56. He was an honorable mention All-Pac 12 selection.

With the status of Evan Aschenbeck still up in the air, Cunningham could assume the role of closer for the Aggies in 2025.

Camarillo heads to the pros

Shortstop Ali Camarillo, who was the first pick of the 12th round in last week's MLB Draft, has signed with the Oakland A's. He received a $250,000 signing bonus.

In his lone season at A&M, Camarillo hit .288 with 7 home runs and 38 RBI while starting all 68 games at shortstop.

Aggies suffer a surprise loss

Righthanded pitcher Eldridge Armstrong, who was not selected in the draft, signed a free agent deal with the New York Mets Sunday. Armstrong only made four appearances for the Aggies this past season, with no record and a 7.71 ERA in 4 2/3 innings. But he struck out 7 in those 4 2/3 innings and sports a fastball that sits in the mid-90s.

Aggies have three preseason All-SEC selections

This technically happened Friday afternoon, but deserves mentioning. Three Texas A&M players were named by members of the media to the preseason All-SEC teams. Defensive linemen Shemar Turner and Nic Scourton were both named to the second team, while left tackle Trey Zuhn was named to the third team.
