Michael Earley
Head Coach
Michael Earley was named the 21st head baseball coach in Texas A&M history on June 30, 2024, after three seasons as the hitting coach in College Station.
During his time as A&M's hitting coach, Earley helped the squad to two College World Series appearances and a national runner-up finish in 2024. In his tenure, Earley developed Texas A&M into one of the most powerful and potent offenses in the SEC. In 2024, the Maroon & White set program records for home runs with 136 and walks with a nation-leading 422.
In his three seasons, the Aggies have belted 306 homers, logged 704 extra-base hits and drawn 1,178 walks.
Under Earley’s guidance in 2024, the trio of Braden Montgomery, Gavin Grahovac and Jace LaViolette became the first group of teammates in program history to each surpass 20 home runs in a single season. LaViolette also became the first player in Texas A&M history to record back-to-back seasons with 20 or more homers.
The Aggies also had four offensive standouts earn All-America honors under Earley’s teachings in 2024, including Grahovac, LaViolette, Montgomery and Jackson Appel. Grahovac also set a new Texas A&M freshman record for homers with 23, surpassing fellow team LaViolette, who set the previous mark in 2023.
During his tenure with the Maroon & White, five position players have been drafted with more expected to be taken in the 2024 MLB Draft.
Prior to Texas A&M, Earley spent five seasons at Arizona State, including four as the hitting coach on Tracy Smith's staff where he built a reputation for developing hitters with his most notable work being the rise of Spencer Torkelson to the No. 1 overall draft pick in the 2020 MLB Draft. Undrafted out of high school, Torkelson was selected by the Detroit Tigers. He was the first third baseman to be selected first overall since Pat Burrell in 1998 and just the fifth third baseman to be selected first overall in MLB Draft history. It marked the first time a college position player went from being undrafted out of high school to the No. 1 overall pick since Nebraska outfielder Darin Erstad in 1995.
Jason Kelly
Associate Head Coach
Kelly will serve as the associate head coach and oversee the pitching staff, while Longley will act as the recruiting coordinator and work with the hitters. In addition, Will Fox will remain on the staff and serve as an assistant coach and Jason Hutchins will return for his 27th season as the director of operations.
In his two seasons at the helm of the Huskies, Kelly compiled a 54-51-1 record and guided the squad to its 12th NCAA Regional appearance in 2023. The 35 wins in 2023 were the most by a first-year head coach in program history. Kelly also oversaw six players drafted from his inaugural squad at Washington, while four garnered All-Pac-12 honors.
Prior to taking over the helm for the Huskies, Kelly spent 11 seasons as a pitching coach at Washington, Arizona State and LSU. In 2018, Kelly earned D1Baseball.com National Assistant Coach of the Year honors after helping the Huskies to their first trip to the College World Series.
Caleb Longley
Assistant Coach
Caleb Longley joins the Aggie staff after serving as an assistant coach for the Longhorns for the past three seasons. While with Texas, Longley worked as the recruiting coordinator and hitting coach, helping the program to its three highest home run totals in school history. After taking over as the recruiting coordinator, Longley's first class in 2024 was ranked No. 3 in the country according to Baseball America.
Will Fox
Assistant Coach
Will Fox will enter his sixth season in Aggieland and first as an assistant coach in 2025. In his five seasons, Fox helped the Maroon & White to a 179-92 record and two College World Series appearances. In 2024, Fox assisted the Aggies in reaching new heights as the team compiled a 53-15 record and advanced to the College World Series Finals for the first time in program history.
Jason Hutchins
Director of Baseball Operations
Jason Hutchins is in his 24th year as the Director of Operations for the Texas A&M baseball team as the Aggies embark on the 2022 campaign. Hutchins is responsible for organizing the day-to-day activities associated with the baseball program and is director of the Dugout Club. His baseball knowledge is a huge asset to the Aggie coaching staff.
Hutchins, who serves under his third head coach in Aggieland, is vital in the administration and teaching aspects of the Texas A&M Baseball Camp, serving as the camp director for the last 18 seasons. Additionally, Hutchins keeps close ties with former players, who are a major part of Aggie Baseball family and are often invited back to the Brazos Valley for events such as the Former Players Weekend.
