Terry Taylor was a key member of some of the most powerful Aggie baseball teams in school history.
He came to Aggieland and started as a second baseman as a freshman in 1987. He hit over .300 in each of his three years and ended with a career batting average of .314 with 40 homeruns and 203 RBI. He signed a professional baseball contract with the California Angels after being selected in the fifth round of the 1989 major league baseball draft. He came back to school and finished his degree in agricultural economics in 1993.
As part of the “Triplets”, Taylor packed a punch with fellow classmates and Hall of Famer’s Chuck Knoblauch and John Byington. The record-setting 1989 season saw Taylor bat second, Knoblauch third and Byington fourth in the Aggie lineup that never wavered. In 1989, the Aggies set a school record by winning 26 straight games and ended the season with a record 58-7 mark. The team won the SWC regular- season and post-season crowns and hosted the very first Aggie baseball regional at Olsen Field.
During his three-year career, the Aggies posted a record of 154-44-1, the most wins at the time in any three-year period of time in the school’s history. He earned first-team All-America honors in 1989 and was a three-time member of the SWC All-Conference team.
