Caylon Dygert<\/a>\u00a0earned national recognition this week following his dominant outing in the Mavericks’ 4\u20133 victory at No. 6 Arkansas on Feb. 27 at Baum-Walker Stadium.<\/p>\nDygert was named to Baseball America’s Week 3 National Team of the Week and was also recognized by D1Baseball\u00a0in its Weekend 3 Top Performers list.<\/p>\n
The Mavericks’ leader delivered 8.2 innings against the nationally ranked Razorbacks, allowing just two hits and two runs \u2014 neither earned \u2014 while striking out 11. He issued two walks and threw 130 pitches in the outing, a performance that drew national attention across the college baseball landscape.<\/p>\n
Dygert held Arkansas scoreless through the first eight innings and limited one of the nation’s premier offenses to minimal traffic throughout the night. He generated 10 groundouts and exited with two outs in the ninth after turning in one of the top pitching performances in the country during Weekend 3.<\/p>\n
Baseball America’s National Team of the Week highlights the top performers at each position nationally, while D1Baseball’s Weekend Top Performers list \u2014 compiled in partnership with 6-4-3 Charts \u2014 ranks the nation’s top 100 pitching performances from Friday through Sunday using Bill James’ game score formula.<\/p>\n
The recognition adds to an already decorated r\u00e9sum\u00e9 for Dygert. In 2024, he was named a Second Team Freshman All-American by D1Baseball.com and earned conference Player of the Week honors, establishing himself early as one of the nation’s premier arms.<\/p>\n
Dygert’s latest performance secured his first win of the 2026 season and powered UT Arlington to its lone victory of the series at Arkansas.
