BLACKSBURG, Va. – Revitalizing the day-to-day oversight of the Virginia Tech baseball program, head coach John Szefc formally welcomed Easton Dally into the role of general manager, director of baseball operations on Tuesday.

Dally syncs with the Hokies following six seasons of graduate and undergraduate support work within the East Carolina baseball program under head coach Cliff Godwin.

“Easton will be a tremendous addition to our program here at Virginia Tech,” said Szefc. “He has extensive experience coming from East Carolina [while] working with the baseball program.

“I look forward to sharing our operation with Easton – especially to the new ideas he brings with him. He was very highly recommended by the East Carolina coaching staff, which we have a great deal of respect for. Easton makes for a great combination with our program and I look forward to working with him day-to-day.”

After earning his bachelor’s degree from East Carolina in 2023, Dally remained with the baseball program as a graduate assistant manager, tending to a wider array of the Pirates’ logistical demands during the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

Among his daily administrative tasks, Dally assisted with the coordination of East Carolina’s equipment and travel while developing functional itineraries for coaches and student-athletes to follow. Additionally, he played a fundamental role in the annual organizing of the Pirates’ preseason baseball banquet, providing key assistance and contributing oversight that led to fundraising success.

Between in-season assignments, Dally served as assistant camp coordinator of East Carolina’s CG23 Baseball Camps, performing essential tasks that promoted positive experiences for more than 350 attendees. On top of prepping facilities for camp activities, he was responsible for regular communication with campers’ guardians, outlining detailed information and addressing specific needs.

Dally’s work as graduate assistant manager included direct supervision of East Carolina’s undergraduate student manager staff – a position he held with the Pirates from 2020 to 2023. Inside his routine collaboration with the coaching staff, he ensured seamless execution of all aspects of the program’s day-to-day operation, from meal dispersals to equipment management and practice setup.

Upon receiving his bachelor’s degree in business administration, Dally set out to complete his master’s degree in kinesiology at East Carolina, graduating in 2025. A native of Greenville, North Carolina, he currently resides in Blacksburg with his fiancée, Gillian.
