Texas A&M baseball receives huge news about incoming transfer regarding MLB draft

Touted Penn transfer Wyatt Henseler opts out of MLB Draft; will play for Texas A&M baseball next year

Just about everything's been coming up rosy for Texas A&M baseball over the past couple of days. There have been some unfortunate injuries that have cast a bit of a pall over the weekend's action, but the headline has been that the Aggies swept both their regional and super regional, and are now headed to Omaha.

Aggie fans everywhere are extremely excited about the direction that coach Jim Schlossnagle has things pointed in at the moment. Schloss has pushed all the right buttons since arriving in College Station, and he is now en route to the College World Series for the second time in three years.

That's not all the good news that has been coming down the pike for Texas A&M baseball, either. News broke today about highly-anticipated transfer commitment Wyatt Henseler out of Penn opting out of MLB draft consideration.

The touted transfer was one of the best hitters in the Ivy League this year, so this is a huge deal for the Aggies. Kendall Rogers had the breakdown of Henseler's stats:

For those of you that don't know, it is an Ivy League rule that you cannot play a fifth year at a school in the league. With that in mind, many Ivy players commit early on to a school that they'll transfer to if they wish to continue playing. In Henseler's case, not only did he have the opportunity to continue playing collegiately, he would have been a high draft pick in the MLB.

This is a huge win for Schloss. He's building the kind of culture and kind of program that players around the nation want to come be a part of. With the portal being what it is in college sports today, that's a big ingredient to making Texas A&M the premier program in college baseball—something that I think Schloss can definitely do.
