TROY, Ala. - Three members of the Troy baseball team were named to the Sun Belt's All-Conference Teams on Monday.Â
First baseman Blake Cavill was named to the First Team by the league's coaches, while catcher Brooks Bryan and starting pitcher Garrett Gainous were named to the Second Team.
"What a great honor for Blake, Brooks and Garrett to be All-Sun Belt players," head coach Skylar Meade said. "Blake coming here and being the productive offensive figure he has been is exactly what we felt he was capable of. Â Brooks has handled all the expectations thrust to him since 2024 and been the level of player we knew he could be. Lastly for Garrett, what a great accomplishment to be able to persevere through so much to get the recognition."
Cavill was one of the most productive hitters in college baseball this season after transferring from Western Kentucky. The senior leads the nation in walks (64) and ranks 12th in on-base percentage (.523). The Sydney, Australia native batted .326 on the season and ranked third in the Sun Belt with a 1.109 OPS while totaling 59 hits, 12 doubles, a triple, 11 home runs and 49 RBIs.Â
Cavill has reached base safely in all 54 games played this season, and has an on-base streak of 61 games dating back to last season.Â
Bryan landed on the All-Sun Belt team for a second consecutive season after being named a First Team selection in 2024. The junior is tied for second in the Sun Belt with 18 doubles this season and ranks third with 59 RBIs. The Opelika, Ala., product finished the regular season with a .284 batting average, a .952 OPS, 61 hits, 12 home runs and 33 walks.Â
Gainous was a consistent force on Friday nights for the Trojans, posting a 6-1 record with a 3.83 ERA in 51.2 innings pitched. In 11 appearances and ten starts, the senior right-hander struck out 51 hitters on the season, and now ranks third in program history with 260 career strikeouts. The Cairo, Ga., native held hitters to a .240 batting average and was at his best against Sun Belt Conference foes, earning a 3.51 ERA with a .217 opponent batting average while tallying 34 strikeouts in 33.1 innings.Â
Troy enters this week's Sun Belt Conference Tournament as the No. 3 seed. The Trojans will play No. 6 seed Old Dominion at 9 a.m. on Wednesday at Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery, Ala.
