Sdao’s a low-slot, projectable lefty that’s already been up to 97, and has sat in the mid-90s with the fastball. The shape here is good, not great, as he’s getting 17.5” of carry with 8” of horizontal break. He’s got a sweeper at 81 mph that gets 10.2” of sweep and 5.4” of lift. His third pitch is change-up in the mid-80s with 13” of arm-side run, which has been a solid offering for him. Unfortunately, Sdao went down with an elbow injury this fall that required Tommy John surgery and will not pitch for the Aggies this spring.

Prager profiles very similarly to his teammate Myles Patton. Same height and weight, same pitch mix, and similar pitch shapes. Prager averaged 89 mph on his fastball with 22” of vertical break on his fastball, and threw both his change-up and slider >20% of the time. He was selected 81st overall in 2024 by the Angels, but chose to return to A&M.

Patton is another projectable, lower velocity LHP with great fastball shape, but is still in need of a velocity bump. He gets 20” of carry at 89 mph on average, topping at 93 mph. He doesn’t have a big breaking ball shape, getting short shapes on a curveball and a slider, but has a solid feel for both. He throws a mid-80s change-up with 15” of arm-side as well.

Montgomery is certaintly draft worthy on the mound, but he's a plus plus athlete that should be an everyday regular in the lineup when he's done developing. His freshman year had his highs and lows, and his sophomore year showed strides of improvement. After transferring to Texas A&M - a school that's coaching staff is great at improving approaches - he's due for a breakout this year. He dropped his swing rate below 50% last season while chasing 6% less pitches. His walk rates tripled as a result and that could continue as an Aggie. He's struggled from the left side as a hitter but has above-average power and looks like a plus hitter from the right side. His arm is easily a 70 in the outfield, the athleticism could land him in CF but he's more likely a RF. I wouldn't rule out him being a two-way just yet.

Laviolette is a 60 runner who played CF for the Aggies in 2024 at a league average level, and will get a chance to play CF in pro-ball but likely lands in the corner-OF when it’s all said and done. 6’ 6” 230 is tough to project in the OF, but he’s got the athleticism to make it work. The offensive profile is well rounded with thump and feel to hit. It’s average barrel accuracy, but his max EV was 115.7 mph, his 90th EV was 109 mph and he had a 65% HH rate to match a 95.5 mph average EV. The swing plane is geared to loft, reflected in a 22.6 degree average LA and 28.8 on his HH balls. There’s plus swing decisions here, a 47.8% Z-Swing-Chase% and swing rate <40% are both encouraging. Bat-to-ball skills skew towards the wrong side of average, his 20% in-zone swing is elevated, and a 27.3% whiff rate is slightly suppressed. There are near-40% whiffs on pitches 92 mph or harder up in the zone which will become a factor at some point.

Cortez gets into the triple-digits with his sinker, which has low spin efficiency and could end up being a legit pitch when he plays into the late tailing action more often. His mid-80s sweeper is a wipeout pitch when lands, and the changeup can be filthy at times. His control of the two secondaries is holding him back from being a starter. He's likely a reliever but has the stuff to develop into a big league starter.

Lamkin is my favorite of the A&M left handed pitchers. He’s sitting 92 mph with 18” of carry from a high slot, but te pitch is playing well. His slider is more of a cutter, with 4.5” of carry and 1” of cut, drawing 45% whiffs. He could do a better job killing vertical on his change-up, but gets 17.5” of arm-side run. The command is outstanding, with nearly 90% of his pitching being in a competitive location.

Results have lagged here in 2025, but the hit tool, metrically speaking, is top-end with a <10% in-zone whiff and both the whiff and chase numbers being <25%. The max EV is 107.4 mph, below average power, but there's feel for loft and a well rounded LA profile despite some EV and LA variance.
