Pyne’s bat helped power Troy’s 2026 breakthrough run
In the 2026 season, Josh Pyne was a middle-of-the-order difference-maker for Troy, hitting .286 with a .852 OPS, 10 home runs, 23 doubles, and 37 RBIs while starting at third base and driving a lot of the Trojans’ extra-base production[1][2]. He’s more than a stat line: Troy’s postseason coverage repeatedly highlighted his timely contact, veteran presence as a redshirt senior, and rebound from a medical redshirt in 2025 to help push the Trojans to their first College World Series berth[1][2][3]. If you want a proven, experienced infielder who brings gap power, run production, and big-stage composure, Pyne looks like a strong fit[1][2].
