Eight Aggies Selected in the 2025 MLB Draft

ATLANTA, GA — Texas A&M saw five more players selected on the final day of the 2025 Major League Baseball Draft, bringing the Aggies’ total to eight draft picks, the program’s most since 2016.

The five picks on Monday joined Jace LaViolette,  Justin Lamkin, and Kaeden Kent, who were drafted on Day One.

Junior left-hander Myles Patton was the first Aggie off the board Monday, going to the Boston Red Sox with the 208th overall pick in the seventh round. Sophomore Kaiden Wilson followed in the ninth round as the Miami Marlins selected him with the 258th pick, while graduate infielder Wyatt Henseler went three picks later to the Washington Nationals.

The Cleveland Guardians, who selected Texas A&M star outfielder Jace LaViolette in the first round Sunday night, added another Aggie in left-hander Ryan Prager at No. 282 overall in the ninth round. Right-handed pitcher Luke Jackson rounded out the group, going to the Tampa Bay Rays in the 11th round at No. 327 overall.
