This week, the brother of a Troy pitcher committed to play college baseball at Troy University when Baylor High School’s Matt Dill announced his commitment.

Dill is the brother of current Troy Trojan pitcher Jay Dill. Matt Dill is an incoming senior infielder and pitcher for Baylor High School in Dayton, Tenn. Dill earned All-Region honors as a junior in 2024. He earned a .258 batting average with 28 runs, 14 RBIs, two doubles and a home run last season along with holding a .919 fielding percentage with 47 putouts, 32 assists and nine double plays. He also earned a 2.63 ERA with 16 strikeouts in 13 and 1/3 innings pitched.

“I decided to commit to Troy because of the coaching staff and from the things my brother, Jay, has told me about what it’s like to play there,” Dill told The Messenger. “I also got to go to a lot of games last year, too, and decided that’s where I wanted to play college ball,.”

Dill is the seventh member of the Class of 2025 to commit to Troy. Dill joins a class that also features Venice Senior (Fla.) pitcher Jackson Lucas, Niceville (Fla.) pitcher Brady Martin, Chapin (SC) catcher Caden Reeves, Enterprise infielder Brady Richardson, South Walton (Fla.) outfielder Cameron Tipton and McAdory first baseman Robert Lake as Troy commitments.
