— SEC Unfiltered (@SECUnfiltered) May 22, 2025A junior, LaViolette entered the year rated the top college prospect in the 2025 MLB Draft. He had a sensational sophomore season in 2024, slashing .305/.449/.726 with 29 home runs and 78 RBIs.
In 2025, LaViolette is slashing .259/.431/.585. In 54 games, he has 50 hits with 18 home runs and 59 RBIs. LaViolette hit a grand slam in the Aggies’ opening-round win over Mississippi State on Tuesday.
In the top of the 6th inning, the SEC Network broadcast stated that LaViolette remained absent from the Texas A&M dugout, noting that there is an X-ray machine inside the Hoover Met.
The LaViolette injury is the latest blow for A&M in a season that has not gone as planned. After an 11-19 showing in SEC play, the Aggies likely need a deep run in the SEC Tournament to make the NCAA Tournament.
