Texas A&M's 'dangerous' offense leads the SEC in eight categories
Texas A&M's offense leads the SEC in eight categories, and is currently tied for first in home runs (27) before facing Texas State on Tuesday night.
Texas A&M moved up five spots in the latest USA TODAY Sports college baseball rankings after winning its second straight SEC series against the Vanderbilt Commodores, currently sitting at 26-5 and 7-5 in SEC play. While the pitching has been less than stellar outside of sophomore Aiden Sims , the Aggies' offense has been nothing short of elite. During Texas A&M 's three-game sweep of the Missouri Tigers, junior first-baseman Gavin Grahovac's minor hand injury led to his breakout performance, hitting four home runs in the series, combined with 39 runs scored for an Aggie offense that currently leads the SEC eight categories categories, while star junior outfielder Caden Sorrell also leads the SEC in home runs with 16 on the year.
After head coach Michael Earley took it upon himself to also serve as the primary hitting coach after Caleb Longley's departure, the early returns were noticeable, but even during the Aggies' struggles against Oklahoma and Georgia, losing both series, the offense scored a combined 27 runs against the Sooners and 24 runs against Georgia, including 18 runs in Game 3. 39 runs against Missouri and 28 runs against Vanderbilt last weekend, it's no wonder Texas A&M is close to locking up a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Here are the eight key categories in which the Aggies hold a lead before taking on Texas State on the road Tuesday night: Batting average: .
