Multiple Former Ole Miss Baseball Players Drafted Across MLB Teams

The 2025 college baseball season in Mississippi features strong showings from both Ole Miss and Mississippi State, as reflected in early Baseball America preseason rankings with Mississippi State at No. 4 and Ole Miss at No. 24. Ole Miss, coming off a 43-win season and the loss of key hitters, remains competitive due to returning talent and new transfer portal additions. Mississippi State is undergoing a significant rebuild under new coach Brian O’Connor, leveraging a robust transfer portal strategy that includes players from Virginia and nationwide recruits. Meanwhile, several Ole Miss baseball players were selected in the 2025 MLB Draft, with Mason Morris being the highest-drafted Rebel pitcher, and others continuing to perform well in Major League Baseball. Texas A&M also earned recognition for academic excellence for the fourth consecutive season, highlighting a commitment to student-athlete success alongside athletic performance. Additionally, Mississippi State is actively pursuing top transfers like Florida lefty Frank Menendez to further strengthen their roster, despite challenges related to SEC transfer rules.
