Dillon was the starting designated hitter during the 2005 College World Series and acted as an assistant coach when the “Feed the Beaver” craze in 2012 propelled the squad to a Big 12 championship.

With a brand new season comes a brand new style of fall ball for Thompson’s Bears. The green and gold will have three free and open-to-the-public scrimmages each week during the fall to showcase the team’s talent as each athlete competes for a starting position.
Behind six different pitchers who combined to allow just one earned run on seven hits and forfeit zero walks, Baylor baseball won its ninth game in the last 10 games, as it took down UT Arlington 3-1 on Tuesday at Clay Gould Ballpark in Arlington.
With a year under his belt, head coach Mitch Thompson enters year two with a new motto: “To be the best, you have to beat the best.” And the Bears will get a chance to do just that as the first month of their season features the most difficult schedule in Division I, based on last year’s win percentage and RPI.
In his second year at the helm, head coach Mitch Thompson is back on the Brazos River looking to defy expectations as Baylor baseball kicks off spring practice.
“My coaches tell me that my walk-up song is ‘I want it all and I want it now,’” head coach Mitch Thompson quipped. “That’s just the way it is, and that’s probably true. I’m a really impatient guy, and I do want it all, and I want it now, so give it to me now and let’s do it.”
As the seasons change tune ever so slightly and the sun still beats down at over 100 degrees, Baylor baseball ramps up for a fall filled with competition and development at Baylor Ballpark.
