A significant piece of news surrounding the 2025 college baseball season came out Wednesday night when Texas A&M Aggies left-handed pitcher Ryan Prager announced that he would bypassing the professional route to return to play for the Aggies next spring.
This news comes after Prager was selected in the 2024 MLB draft back in mid-July, taken in the third round by the Los Angeles Angels.
A 2024 Second Team All-SEC selection, Prager, who just completed his redshirt sophomore at Texas A&M, is coming off a breakout season with the Aggies in which he made 19 starts for the College World Series runner-up. Across those 19 starts, Prager held a 9-1 record with a 2.95 ERA and 120:24 K:BB ratio across 97.2 IP, while also holding opponents to a combined .226 AVG against.
This season came just a year after the left-hander missed all of 2023 due to an injury, bringing his career totals at Texas A&M to a 10-5 record with a 3.78 ERA and 177:45 K:BB ratio across 157 IP (35 starts) between the 2022 and 2024 seasons.

Looking ahead, Prager will now return to headline what could very easily be a national championship preseason frontrunner in Texas A&M next spring. The left-hander is also a legit candidate for 2025 SEC Pitcher of the Year, if not the preseason frontrunner.
