Texas A&M baseball flips another pitcher from Schloss and Texas; 2025 prospect David Ramirez was top pitcher in Longhorns' class
Michael Earley has been absolutely ruthless so far on the trail for Texas A&M baseball. And well he should be, in any case—after what Schloss and Chris Del Conte pulled in trying to gut this Aggie baseball program, it makes sense that Earley would be going for the jugular.
And go for the jugular he has. In just two days, the Aggies have flipped Gavin Lyons, the former top pitching commit in the Longhorns' 2024 class, and now they have done the same with the best arm in Texas's 2025 group. David Ramirez announced his commitment to the Aggies today:
I am excited to announce that I will be furthering my academic and baseball career at Texas A&M University! A huge thank you to my family and coaches for giving me this opportunity. Gig ‘Em 👍 @AggieBaseball @tx_senators pic.twitter.com/bIJtv3uiLm

Jason Kelly, the new Aggies pitching coach, has made himself a name in College Station in a short time. These two flips were huge, as were the retentions of the majority of the pitching staff.
Kelly isn't new to big time SEC recruiting. Though he came from Washington, where he was the head coach, he previously served as the pitching coach down in Baton Rouge, where he was widely considered one of the best assistants in the country.
Former Texas commit is now headed to Aggieland. He was outstanding at the Mattingly World Series last week. https://t.co/wVXtp5I0uj

This is a big result for the Ags. After A&M began to retain all of their current players and demonstrate dominance in the portal for 2024, Schlossnagle and company maneuvered, turning their attention almost entirely to 2025. It was clear they couldn't beat the Ags in the current cycle, so they hoped to get a head start while Earley continued to build the monster that A&M baseball is becoming.
Now, though, the Longhorns have once again found themselves outmatched. The Aggie staff has shown what kind of recruiting machine this program can be, and with a new stadium on the way and these classes incoming, it doesn't look like they'll be going anywhere.
