Jabe Boroff, the Troy designated hitter, has etched his name into college baseball history by delivering 21 runs batted in during the 2026 postseason, the first player to reach that mark since 2018.
His recent outing against Ole Miss showcased two hits and two RBIs in a 12‑8 victory, underscoring his consistency at the plate and reinforcing his role as a linchpin in Troy's lineup.
A Milestone in the Making
The performance places Boroff alongside notable alumni such as Adley Rutschman, who recorded 20 RBIs in the 2018 postseason before being drafted first overall by the Baltimore Orioles and earning multiple All‑Star selections.
Rutschman's trajectory — from a standout at Oregon State to a Silver Slugger award winner in 2023 — provides a historical benchmark for Boroff's current surge.
Boroff's regional MVP award in Gainesville propelled Troy to its first-ever super regional, and across nine postseason games he has logged six multi‑hit contests and six home runs, illustrating a player peaking at the right moment.
Looking Ahead
Troy now faces an elimination game against the loser of the North Carolina versus West Virginia matchup on Tuesday, June 16 at 2 p.m. ET at Charles Schwab Field, a contest that will be broadcast live on ESPN and could further cement Boroff's historic postseason.
