Five Aggies Selected on Final Day of MLB Draft
ATLANTA, Ga. – The electric buzz inside the Coca-Cola Roxy swelled with anticipation as the 2025 Major League Baseball Draft entered its final day. For five determined and battle-tested players from Texas A&M, the moment they had dreamed of since childhood arrived in a surge of emotion and celebration. Myles Patton, Kaiden Wilson, Wyatt Henseler, Ryan Prager, and Luke Jackson — all proud Aggies — heard their names called, marking a momentous chapter in both their careers and the legacy of Texas A&M baseball.
Myles Patton, a gritty left-handed reliever with a wipeout slider and an unrelenting work ethic, was the first of the five to be selected. Drafted in the 13th round by the Milwaukee Brewers, Patton had carved out a reputation in College Station as a bulldog out of the bullpen. With a fastball that lived in the mid-90s and a fearless demeanor on the mound, Patton became a trusted weapon in high-leverage SEC matchups. His 1.98 ERA over 45 innings in 2025 made him a standout, and the Brewers are banking on that tenacity translating to the pros.
Shortly after, Kaiden Wilson’s name flashed across the screen, bringing a roar of approval from family and friends watching back home. Taken in the 14th round by the Detroit Tigers, Wilson is a rangy outfielder known for his glove-first instincts and speed on the basepaths. A .304 hitter with 23 stolen bases this past season, Wilson brings a high-contact bat and elite centerfield range — tools the Tigers desperately need in their rebuilding farm system.
Then came the selection of Wyatt Henseler, a transfer from the Northeast who flourished under A&M’s coaching staff. The versatile infielder slugged 18 home runs in 2025 and posted a .936 OPS, drawing the attention of the Cleveland Guardians, who snagged him in the 15th round. Henseler’s combination of power and plate discipline gives him a high ceiling as a corner infielder in the majors.
Left-hander Ryan Prager, once considered a top-10 round talent before injuries slowed his junior year, was a pleasant surprise pick in the 16th round by the Kansas City Royals. Prager, a cerebral pitcher with elite command and a devastating changeup, made a strong late-season push with dominant performances in the SEC Tournament. Royals scouts believe he could return to form quickly and fast-track through the system.
Finally, Luke Jackson, Texas A&M’s ironman catcher and emotional backbone, was chosen by the San Francisco Giants in the 17th round. Known for his cannon arm and exceptional pitch-framing ability, Jackson started nearly every game for the Aggies in 2025 and handled one of the nation’s best pitching staffs. Though his bat is still developing, his defensive acumen and leadership are major league-ready.
For head coach Jim Schlossnagle and the Aggie baseball program, the day was a resounding affirmation of their player development culture. “These young men have poured everything into this program,” Schlossnagle said. “We couldn’t be prouder. Their best baseball is still ahead of them.”
Five Aggies. Five dreams realized. One unforgettable day in Atlanta.
