Texas A&M baseball has suffered a setback as sophomore left-handed pitcher Caden McCoy will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery due to an injury to his left elbow. McCoy was expected to compete for the Aggies' Sunday starter spot and be a key part of the bullpen in 2026.
Why it matters
McCoy's injury is a significant loss for the Texas A&M baseball team, as he was projected to play an important role in the Aggies' pitching rotation this season. The team will now need other players, such as sophomore Aiden Moss and junior Clayton Freshcorn, to step up and fill the void left by McCoy's absence.
The details
McCoy made 14 appearances last season, going 3-2 with two saves. He posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.23 WHIP, striking out 29 batters in 22 innings while holding opponents to a .209 average. With McCoy out, the Aggies may need to rely more on Moss, who made six appearances with three starts last season, and Freshcorn, who was a key piece out of the bullpen, making 23 appearances and recording two saves.
- McCoy suffered the injury to his left elbow that will require season-ending Tommy John surgery on January 27, 2026.
- The Aggies' season begins on February 13, 2026, as they welcome Tennessee Tech to Olsen Field.
