Troy was left out of the NCAA Baseball Regionals on Monday, ending its season.

The Trojans finished 39-21 overall and 18-12 in the Sun Belt Conference, then reached the conference tournament semifinals. The top two finishers in the Sun Belt, Coastal Carolina and Southern Miss, will both host NCAA Regionals.

Troy was 47th in the country in RPI, and listed among the “First Four Out” according to the NCAA Selection Committee along with Southeastern Louisiana, Connecticut and Virginia. Arizona State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and USC — all power-conference programs — received the last four at-large bids.

“… The three big conferences — the SEC, ACC, Big Ten — the SEC with 13 teams, the ACC with nine, Big 12 with eight, that only leaves eight at-large spots,” NCAA Selection Committee chairman Jay Artigues said on the ESPN Selection Show broadcast. “That makes it so challenging.”

Troy won every regular-season series except its last, when it was swept at home by Southern Miss. Included in the Trojans’ regular-season resume was a series win over Sun Belt regular-season and tournament champion Coastal Carolina, the No. 13 national seed.

However, Troy lost its final four regular-season games, then its Sun Belt tournament opener vs. Old Dominion. The Trojans then beat Texas State and ODU before falling 2-1 to Southern Miss in the semifinals.

Troy has played in eight NCAA Regionals as a Division I program, most recently in 2023. The Trojans won Division II College World Series championships in 1986 and 1987.
