Double-T 97.3’s Jamie Lent on the commitment of Blinn College Ben Polleshultz:

The Red Raider Baseball team continues to add talented players to their 2027 roster after gaining the commitment of Junior College Pitcher Ben Polleshultz on Friday. The former Blinn College star had been a verbal commit to Texas A&M since September of last year.

The Cypress, Texas native joins the Red Raiders after two years pitching for one of the top Junior College programs in the country. In 2026, Polleschultz pitched 14 times with seven starts. The lefty totaled a 3.91 ERA and a 5 and 1 record. In 46.0 innings of work, he racked up 63 strikeouts while giving up just 19 walks. In two years with the Buccaneers he totaled a 13 and 2 record and a 3.42 ERA. His 102.2 innings on the mound saw him strike out 130 batters and walk just 35.

Texas Tech basketball with a Q&A with newcomer Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn:

What do you want to develop the most in your game?

“Defense. Working on the defensive side of the ball. I don’t feel like I’m bad at it, but also I don’t think it’s something you can always improve on. Be more scrappy and aggressive with it.”

What do you want your teammates and coaches to say about you?

“That I’m a grinder and psycho. I want them to know that I’m respectful, but on the court, I might be a little crazy sometimes but in a good way. Off the court, I want them to say I’m a kindhearted person who cares about everyone.”
