PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Dylan Cyphert’s journey to big-time college baseball has taken another turn, this time for the positive, as the 2015 Cranberry graduate has committed to play at Alabama starting in the 2018 season.

The Crimson Tide are the third Division I program Cyphert has committed to. He committed to Penn State while in high school before changing to Pitt. But after staying at Pitt for a semester, the left-handed pitcher decided to transfer to junior college going to Gulf Coast State College.

“I really liked all the coaches at Alabama,” Cyphert said. “They were the ones that showed the most interest. The overall atmosphere in Tuscaloosa (the town the school is located in) is the kind of environment I want to be in. The fans are awesome. Their facilities are the best in the country, and I wanted an opportunity to pitch in the SEC.”
