Anyone know why we haven't seen more (if any) of him on the mound for the Ags this year?

Here's what Grok says... Maybe it's still a control issue?

There is no specific information in the available sources indicating that Kyrin LeBlanc, a junior right-handed pitcher for Texas A&M, is currently injured as of April 20, 2025. LeBlanc, who transferred from Cisco College after flipping his commitment from Texas in July 2024, is noted as a key player for the 2025 season, particularly as a potential closer for the Aggies. Here's the latest on his status:
A February 2025 article from Yahoo Sports highlights LeBlanc as a top option to replace star closers Evan Aschenbeck and Chris Cortez, emphasizing his powerful arm, with fastball velocities in the mid-to-high 90s and reports of occasionally surpassing 100 mph. It mentions his 35 strikeouts in 21.2 innings at Cisco College in 2024, with no reference to any injury concerns.


Texas A&M's official athletics profile and other reports from July 2024 confirm his commitment and performance stats, noting his 14.54 K/9 rate and first career save, with no mention of health issues.


His transition to Division I baseball under pitching coach Jason Kelly is expected to focus on refining his control, given his high walk rate (22 walks in 21.2 innings at Cisco), but there are no indications of physical limitations or injuries impacting his preparation for 2025.

If accurate, this is the obvious answer to the question.

I don't think he's injured. I think he's just not ready.

Have we seen him at all this year? I thought maybe earlier in the season, but I can't recall.

I don't think so. The kids have noticed him in the dugout and the bullpen. Mostly because he's wearing Jace Hutchins old number and they love him.

You know chatbots and certain of our posters hallucinate when they don't have information.
