Dillon Michael Tate (born May 1, 1994) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the New York Yankees organization. He played college baseball at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the first round of the 2015 Major League Baseball draft and traded to the Yankees during the 2016 season.
Tate attended Claremont High School in Claremont, California, graduating in 2012. He made the school's baseball team, but received little playing time as a freshman. He then began to train at the Major League Baseball (MLB) Urban Youth Academy in Compton, California. He was not selected in the MLB draft out of high school.
Tate enrolled at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he played college baseball for the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos. The Gauchos and the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles were the only two Division I programs to offer Tate a scholarship. As a freshman, he appeared in four games, pitching three innings, and had a 9.00 earned run average (ERA). That summer, he grew from 165 pounds (75 kg) to 200 pounds (91 kg) through weight training. As a sophomore, he served as the Gauchos' closing pitcher, finishing the season with a 1.45 ERA, 12 saves, and 46 strikeouts. Tate was expected to enter his junior season in 2015 as the closer again, but was converted into a starting pitcher after an injury to one of the teams starters. He started 14 games in his junior year, pitching to a 8–5 win–loss record with a 2.26 ERA and 111 strikeouts in 103 1⁄3 innings pitched.
