I've now seen multiple D1 Baseball posts listing Grahovac as a top 1st Baseman in the SEC and nationally. Have I been living under a rock or has this been more public?

If true, what's the projected infield?
Grahovac - 1B
Chestnut/??? - 2B
Royo - SS
Hacopian - 3B

My understanding is that we will be looking at something like this:
1B-Grahovac
2B-Kellner/Royo/Chestnut
SS-Hacopian
3B-Partida

Brauny has also stated that Partida has pretty much solidified he will be one of the guys to start in the infield.

This is my guess as well, but I think it is more between Kellner and Royo with Chestnut more likely to be a situational/utility player

Hoping to see Royo at SS.

Edit: Also D1 listed Hacopian as a DH. Given his fielding troubles at Maryland that wouldn't surprise me.

I remember hearing that a big reason he picked us was because we all but guaranteed he would be able to play SS

DH in these All-American rankings aren't saying they are a full-time DH, but more its the best player/batter overall that didn't get the nod at their respective position.

If we see Royo, it is likely to be at 2nd.

It sounds like at this point he will be the SS to start the season. There's a chance that could change during the season if he struggles defensively, but its his job to lose.

Needs to wait for an opportunity and make the most of it if it comes.

I don't expect to see him much unless guys are struggling or we are facing injuries

Maybe DH, if he can be productive. Otherwise, filling in if there is an injury or playing late innings in games with big leads.

Inspired by this I also asked AI to simulate the 2026 A&M baseball schedule and tell me what is their predicted record.

Prediction: 36-20 (15-15 SEC).
The 2026 Aggies are entering a "redemption season." After missing the NCAA Tournament in 2025, they open the year ranked #25 nationally by D1Baseball. While the lineupanchored by juniors Gavin Grahovac and Caden Sorrellis considered one of the most potent in the country, the team's ceiling will be defined by a revamped pitching staff led by a healthy Shane Sdao. The schedule is unforgiving, highlighted by the renewed conference rivalry with Texas (April 10-12) and a brutal stretch at LSU and Florida.


15-15 is probably in the hosting discussion, but also right on the cut line.

I am begging people to stop copy/pasting AI responses on TexAgs.

It adds nothing to the discussion. It will tell you exactly what it thinks you want to hear, and at best it is probably just summarizing talk on this forum.

Please, please add a human response or say nothing.
