It's been a tough offseason for Maryland baseball. The Terrapins have lost a few players to the transfer portal, and most notably, Maryland lost its star shortstop Chris Hacopian to the portal. On3's Pete Nakos broke the news that Hacopian transferred to Texas A&M to continue his playing career.

Hacopian led Maryland last season batting a stellar .375 for the season. He added 14 home runs and 61 RBIs for the Terrapin offense.

Maryland’s Chris Hacopian commits to Texas A&M. Huge pickup for the Aggies.

Before playing for Maryland, Hacopian was committed to Wake Forest, but he opted to de-commit to play for home-state Maryland. He was an All-Big Ten performer the past two seasons while playing for the Terrapins. Hacopian will have two years of eligibility to use with the Aggies.

Here is a list of his accomplishments in two seasons with Maryland:

2025 Second Team All-Big Ten
2024 D1Baseball Second Team Freshman All-American
2024 Baseball America Second Team Freshman All-American
2024 Perfect Game Second Team Freshman All-American
2024 Second Team All-Big Ten
2024 Big Ten All-Freshman Team
