Texas A&M launches 8 home runs in dominant start to 2026

No. 25 Texas A&M couldn’t have asked for a better start to the 2026 season. Across three games at Olsen Field, the Aggies unloaded 45 runs on 45 hits, overwhelming Tennessee Tech and cruising to a decisive opening‑weekend sweep.

It wasn’t just loud contact—it was discipline. A&M paired its power with patience, drawing 22 walks and consistently refusing to chase pitches out of the zone. Against an overmatched opponent, the Aggies looked every bit like a ranked team, and the early returns reflect the renewed offensive identity under head coach Michael Earley, who has resumed hitting‑coach duties this season. Even in a small sample, his fingerprints are obvious.

The production came from everywhere. In ideal hitting conditions, the long ball set the tone early in the series, with five different Aggies leaving the yard in the first two games alone. Junior star Caden Sorrell and transfer Wesley Jordan each delivered multi‑homer performances, while freshman phenom Nico Partida launched the first home run of his collegiate career. Newcomer Jake Duer added his first as an Aggie, continuing the theme of contributions up and down the lineup.

It’s fair for fans to remain measured—there are still plenty of questions to answer as the competition stiffens—but there’s no denying how clean, confident, and complete this offense looked out of the gate. For an opening weekend, you take this every time.
