TROY, Ala. — Troy baseball opens its fall slate Sunday in Nashville, Tenn., squaring off against Tennessee. First pitch between the Trojans and Volunteers is slated for 4 p.m.
The exhibition offers Trojan fans their first look at a refreshed roster blending key returning talent with a loaded incoming transfer and freshman class. Coming off a historic 2026 campaign that included the program's first-ever trip to the Men's College World Series in Omaha, Troy looks to test itself early against top-tier SEC competition.
Returning 18 players from the 2026 roster, Troy's core is highlighted by two D1Baseball Top 100 MLB Draft prospects, including the fifth-ranked overall player and No. 95 Noah Thigpen. Other key returners for the Trojans include power-hitter Jabe Boroff, left-hander Hayden Smith, and outfielder Houston Markham.
Troy reloaded its roster with a second consecutive top 25 transfer class, bringing in 13 new additions alongside five incoming freshmen ahead of 2027. The class is headlined by high-profile recruits Kam Jenkins and Tyner Flynt, who ranked No. 74 and No. 98 respectively on Prep Baseball's Top 150 Best Incoming Freshmen list.
After taking on Tennessee, the Trojans will head back home to Riddle-Pace Field for fall intrasquad scrimmages. Fans can follow Troy baseball on Instagram and X for scrimmage dates and start times. Troy returns to exhibition action on Saturday, Oct. 17, hosting Samford at noon.
