Texas A&M freshmen are on fire as Aggies head into back third of year
Mike Earley and the Texas A&M baseball staff did an excellent job recruiting last year, as a trio of freshman has emerged as future building blocks.
The Aggie baseball 2026 freshman class has been on fire recently, with the trio of Nico Partida , Boston Kellner , and Jorian Wilson combining for an incredible . 321 batting average, 19 doubles, two triples, 23 home runs, and an OPS of 1. 085.
Each freshman has brought a different quality to the team, with Partida leading the way as the all-around star hitter. His 43 hits place third on the team, only trailing Caden Sorrell and Gavin Grahovac , who are ranked the 25th and 53rd best prospects for the upcoming 2026 MLB draft, respectively. He ranks even higher on the team in home runs, with his 10 dingers only trailing Grahovac.
Partida was a highly anticipated prospect after being ranked the 40th-best high school prospect, but he has still managed to defy expectations. Kellner isn’t the slugger Partida is, but he shows discipline at the plate that is rare to find in freshmen. His .
483 on-base percentage ranks second on the Aggies, trailing just the third-year Bear Harrison , and he leads the team in walks with 33 despite seeing just 100 at-bats compared to the second-placed Jake Duer ’s 123. His . 280 batting average isn’t elite, but he more than makes up for this with his ability to draw a walk and should only improve over his Texas A&M tenure.
