In addition to keeping some of his star players, as well as his job for the 2026 season, Texas A&M head coach Michael Earley is adding an ex-Aggie baseballer to his coaching staff for the season. On Wednesday afternoon, Ryan Brauninger of TexAgs reported that former major league infielder Cliff Pennington would be joining the Aggie baseball team as an assistant coach, working with the infield on defense and also being the team's third base coach.
