Texas A&M Baseball Stars Sign MLB Deals After Draft, Coaching Shakeup

Four standout players ink contracts as the Aggies rebuild their pitching staff for 2027

Texas A&M's 2026 baseball campaign concluded with a defeat to USC in the College Station Regional, a result that ultimately cost pitching coach Jason Kelley his job.

The Aggies' offense was anchored by seniors Chris Hacopian, Caden Sorrell and Gavin Grahovac, who combined for power numbers that caught the attention of MLB scouts.

Draft Impact and Roster Moves

Hacopian was selected 11th overall by the Washington Nationals, earning a slot value of $6,133,500, while Sorrell went 62nd to the Chicago Cubs with a $1,487,200 slot, Grahovac received $1,018,500 from the same club, and reliever Shane Sdao was taken 120th by the New York Mets, whose slot allotment stands at $645,100.

All four players are projected to sign their rookie contracts, and the program will lean on a revamped rotation that includes seven transfer‑portal pitchers for the 2027 season.
