The former Maryland Terrapin heads to College Station to test his talents in the SEC. In his two years there, he was the best hitter in the entire BIG 10, where he smashed 22 2B, 29 HR, and 103 RBIs in two seasons there. 

The power is more than apparent with Hacopian in the stat lines, but the underlying data is just as nice. He posted an average exit velo of 88 MPH and a max EV of 112 MPH. 

What’s even crazier is that on top of his power, he has maybe one of the best plate approaches in all of college baseball. He struck out just 15 times in 249 plate appearances. He’s got an advanced feel for the strikezone, and he doesn’t chase or whiff at much. 

Hacopian headed to the Cape this summer, where he showcased that he can handle the upper echelon of competition. He hit six doubles, two home runs, and drove in 17 in 36 games. Striking out just 6 times in 150 plate appearances. 

Hacopian started his career at Maryland at third base because they had some guy named Matt Shaw at shortstop his freshman year. He shifted to shortstop in his sophomore year and showed he could handle the position. The assumption is that he will still play short at Texas A&M. 

The Aggies got the best bat in the entire transfer portal class, in my opinion. I know he is ranked below both Gracia and Gasparino, but the talent is immense with Hacopian. For Head Coach Mike Earley, who will be looking to bounce back in 2026, this is a huge get.Â
