Troy baseball coach Mark Smartt excited about six seniors utilizing extra year of eligibility

On a day that the Sun Belt Conference baseball tournament was originally scheduled to begin in Montgomery, Troy baseball coach Mark Smartt was looking ahead to next season.

“I do have a feeling the lost season will generate a little more interest going forward,” Smartt said during a Trojan Talk segment Tuesday on a Zoom video conference. “I think the true fan of baseball truly misses the game. Plus, I also think it’s going to be an incredibly good product.

“You’re talking about returning experienced players maybe more than any time in our history. We were set to lose 11 players and replace them with 11 players.
