Texas A&M Aggies Star Jace LaViolette Named to All-American Team After Historic Season
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — In a season etched in maroon and white history, Jace LaViolette, the power-hitting outfielder for the Texas A&M Aggies, has been named to the prestigious All-American First Team, a recognition that solidifies his place among college baseball’s elite. The announcement comes after a blistering 2025 campaign in which LaViolette not only led his team to the NCAA Super Regionals but shattered several school and SEC records along the way.
LaViolette, a 6-foot-5, 230-pound sophomore out of Katy, Texas, finished the regular season with a staggering .368 batting average, 27 home runs, and 82 RBIs—making him the SEC leader in long balls and second nationally in total bases. His bat was a constant threat in the heart of the Aggies’ lineup, and his clutch performances in crucial games turned him into a fan favorite at Olsen Field.
More than just a slugger, LaViolette showcased elite defensive ability in right field. With a rocket arm and impressive range for his size, he recorded 11 outfield assists and several game-saving grabs that often made the highlight reels. Scouts and analysts have praised his baseball IQ and leadership qualities, often noting his intensity and preparation during practices.
This All-American selection is just the latest accolade for LaViolette, who was also named SEC Player of the Year and a Golden Spikes Award finalist. In an interview following the announcement, LaViolette credited his teammates and coaching staff for his success.
“I came to Texas A&M to be part of something bigger than myself,” he said. “Every day, I’m pushing to represent this university with pride and to give everything I’ve got for this team. Being named an All-American is an honor, but it’s a reflection of the work we’ve done together.”
Head Coach Jim Schlossnagle lauded LaViolette’s growth and professionalism, saying, “Jace is the type of player who makes everyone around him better. He’s not just a phenomenal athlete; he’s a leader in our clubhouse and a role model for our younger players.”
As the MLB Draft approaches, LaViolette’s stock continues to rise. Scouts project him as a potential first-round pick, praising his rare combination of power, discipline, and athleticism. However, the young star remains focused on unfinished business with the Aggies.
“Right now, my only focus is bringing a championship to Aggieland,” LaViolette said. “That’s been the goal since Day One.”
With his name now enshrined among the best in the nation, LaViolette’s story is still being written—and if the past season is any indication, the next chapter promises fireworks for both Texas A&M and wherever his baseball journey leads next.
