A Strategic Boost for the Program
Troy Baseball is set to welcome two high‑profile transfers who have already distinguished themselves on the collegiate stage. Infielder George Haracz arrives from John Carroll University, while right‑handed pitcher RJ Anglin comes from Huntington University. Both athletes bring a blend of offensive firepower and defensive reliability that coaches say will deepen the squad's competitiveness as the team looks to extend its recent success.
Haracz, a versatile infielder, earned All‑Conference recognition in both 2025 and 2026, collecting honors in the OAC and NCAC. His 2025 season featured a .318 batting average, 26 RBIs and a .931 fielding percentage, while a year later he posted a .364 average, a .520 on‑base percentage and led the conference with 45 walks. Over his career he maintains a .337 average, 65 RBIs and a .957 fielding percentage, highlighted by 46 double plays turned.
Anglin, a right‑handed pitcher, compiled a 21‑10 record with 245 strikeouts across 198 innings for Huntington. In 2024 he posted a 3.31 ERA with 76 strikeouts, and in 2025 he fanned 90 batters in just 64 innings. The 2026 season saw him earn the Crossroads League Gold Glove Award with a .950 fielding percentage and only two errors. Additionally, his stint with the Kalamazoo Growlers yielded 35 strikeouts in 22 innings, earning Great Lakes All‑Stars honors.
The pair join a transfer class that already includes several All‑Conference athletes, reinforcing Troy's intent to sustain momentum after its first Division I College World Series appearance. Coach [Name] emphasized that the new additions provide both depth and the proven clutch performance needed for a strong postseason push.
