College Station, Texas – Texas A&M baseball has confirmed that infielder Sawyer Farr will return for the 2026 season, strengthening the team’s roster as they prepare for offseason training. The sophomore shortstop from Fort Worth made the announcement on Saturday night, marking a pivotal decision for both him and the program.
Sawyer Farr, who was listed as the No. 3 shortstop in Texas from the 2024 recruiting class, brings considerable talent and experience back to the Aggies. During his freshman season, he made 31 starts in 39 appearances, showcasing his skillset across various positions on the field. Farr recorded 15 hits, including a triple, alongside 17 walks and four RBIs. His impressive performance caught the attention of professional scouts, yet he opted to continue his college career rather than pursue opportunities with Major League Baseball franchises.
In addition to his individual achievements, Farr was recognized among his peers, being named to Perfect Game USA’s Top 75 Freshman list alongside his teammate Terrence Kiel II. As a switch hitter, Farr demonstrated promising offensive potential during fall ball in 2024, hitting the ball hard and displaying versatility at second base, with expectations of transitioning to shortstop in the near future.
Farr’s return, along with Kiel II, significantly enhances Texas A&M’s hopes for the upcoming season. Both players are expected to contribute speed on the bases and consistent hitting, traits that are critical for the team’s overall performance. The Aggies are currently in the process of rebuilding their program, with aspirations to improve and elevate their competitive stature in college baseball.
The decision for Farr to stay at Texas A&M follows a series of developments in the baseball program, aimed toward fostering talent and building a stronger squad for the future. His presence in the lineup could be pivotal for Texas A&M, as they look to leverage young talent effectively and implement strategies that will yield positive results in the next campaign.
Farr’s achievements have not only earned him recognition on a national scale, being ranked as the No. 17 prospect at shortstop and the No. 67 overall player in the country for his class by Perfect Game USA, but also embody the commitment to excellence that Texas A&M seeks to uphold in their baseball program. With a solid foundation and emerging talent, the Aggies aim to bounce back in the competitive landscape of college baseball, looking forward to a successful season in 2026.
