Chestnut Named to SEC Community Service Team
May 15, 2024 | Baseball
BIRMINGHAM – Texas A&M's Travis Chestnut has been named to the SEC Baseball Community Service Team, as announced by the league office Wednesday.
In a continuing effort to recognize the accomplishments of student-athletes beyond the field of competition, the Southeastern Conference has highlighted a Community Service Team for baseball for the 2024 season. The conference names a Community Service Team for each of its 21 league-sponsored sports, looking to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to his community through superior service efforts.
Chestnut has been very active in the community during his career as an Aggie. This year alone, Chestnut has volunteered at the Scrappers Home Run Derby and the Brenham State Support Living Center. While working with the Scrappers, he spoke to the 8-13 age group about what it takes and what it's like to play college baseball. At the living center, Chestnut helped out with their Halloween and karaoke parties. Later in the month, he also plans to volunteer at the River Bend Field Day.
On the diamond, Chestnut has started 22 of the 33 games he has appeared in and is batting .281 to go along with a triple, three homers, four doubles and 12 RBI. The Texas A&M second baseman has also swiped a team-high tying 11 bases on the season.
Chestnut and the Aggies wrap up the regular season with a three-game set against No. 3 Arkansas starting Thursday night at 7 p.m. at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
