When the offseason hit for Ole Miss baseball less than a month ago Mike Bianco went to work on looking for a pitching coach to add as part of a staff shakeup. On Thursday that search ended with Bianco hiring Joel Mangrum as the new Ole Miss pitching coach. One requirement that was at the top of the list was a candidate that had collegiate and professional experience. Mangrum fits that, coming to Oxford after spending the last six seasons with the Cleveland Guardians organization and the last four as Minor League Pitching Coordinator. He also had previous stints with ULM, New Mexico State, Aust...

Ole Miss baseball has a busy week ahead. The Rebels are hosting three visitors and a candidate for pitching coach over the next few days. Among them is TCU outfielder Logan Maxwell, who led TCU in OPS (.929) last season. Ben Garrett (OMSpirit.com) joined Chuck Rounsaville and the rest of the Rebel Yell Hotline crew on Monday for a full breakdown of what’s to come. Gordon Ford dropped by, too. Plus, the guys have other roster-construction ideas for Ole Miss’ ‘Big 3’ sports of football, basketball and baseball.

The SEC showed its might as a baseball conference once more in producing the most NCAA Tournament bids from a single conference in history. Ole Miss wasn’t one of them. The Rebels, instead, posted the second of back-to-back losing seasons. Still, Mike Bianco and his Ole Miss coaching staff are returning for 2025. Bianco will be in his 25th season. They have work to do. Ole Miss hitting coach Mike Clement previewed the off-season ahead when he joined Ben Garrett (OMSpirit.com) for this (May 28, 2024) edition of ‘The Flagship.’ “Moving forward, certainly we’re going to be active in the portal,” ...

Mike Bianco will return as Ole Miss head baseball coach in 2025. He’ll be in his 25th season leading the Rebels. Bianco helped the Rebels to their one and only national championship back in the summer of 2022. Pretty much everything else the last three years, though, has been pretty miserable. Ole Miss has won just 36 percent (36-64) of its SEC games — an average of 10.3 wins and 19.7 losses. The Rebels have finished below .500 and missed the postseason entirely the last two. They were in contention for an NCAA Tournament berth going into the final weeks of this season. However, Ole Miss dropp...

Andrew Fischer isn’t the only Ole Miss baseball Rebel already (and encouragingly) looking ahead to next season. Austin Simmons is a two-sport athlete also rostered as a reserve quarterback for Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss football. Simmons finished the baseball season with a 3.21 ERA in 13 appearances. He also impressed in competing with Walker Howard this spring to be Jaxson Dart’s primary backup next season. However, Simmons, a left-handed pitcher, was shut down for the year after exiting the series opener against Alabama in April with an injury to his pitching elbow. He was later diagnosed with...

Ole Miss baseball has at least one game left in the 2024 season. Of course the Rebels drew in-state rival Mississippi State. Ole Miss, the 12-seed in Hoover this week, and the five-seed Bulldogs open SEC Tournament action Tuesday at 8 p.m. CT. The Rebels (27-28, 11-19 SEC) are playing for little more than pride after going winless in four must-win opportunities last week. “Everyone knows what’s at stake (in the SEC Tournament),” Bianco said. “You gotta win.” REBEL YELL HOTLINEThis (May 20, 2024) edition of the Rebel Yell Hotline has all postseason bases covered and features guests Mitch Davis ...

Ole Miss baseball is in Hoover this week for the SEC Tournament. However long the Rebels stay will be the extent of their remaining games for the 2024 season. Ole Miss dropped each of its four must-win games last week to set aflame its long-shot NCAA Tournament hopes. The Rebels are poised to spend the postseason at home for the second straight year. They’ve won under 30 percent of their SEC games since their first and only national championship in the summer of 2022. Ole Miss and in-state rival Mississippi State face off Tuesday night in the tournament’s late game. The Rebels will be without ...

Mike Bianco and the 2024 Ole Miss baseball Rebels faced a four-game, must-win week. They lost them all. Even worse, each was a Quadrant 1 opportunity to boost their measly postseason resume. So, Saturday, a 9-3 loss to cap an LSU sweep in Baton Rouge, was effectively the end of the season. Sure, the Rebels did enough to at least make it into the SEC Tournament. But those results don’t matter. Ole Miss had to win Saturday and get at least two in Hoover to be eligible for the postseason. “Not a good week. Not a good weekend from us,” Bianco said afterwards. “We’ve got to turn it around for the t...

Ole Miss baseball closes out the regular season with a three-game set at LSU starting Thursday night. First pitch of Game 1 is set for 6 p.m. CT on SEC Network. RHP Riley Maddox will oppose LHP Gage Jump of LSU. Maddox is 3-6 with a 5.68 ERA and coming off one of the very best performances of his Ole Miss career in the series win over then-No. 2 Texas A&M last week. He’s struck out 42 and walked 22. “Riley has been far better than his numbers,” Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco said. “Between defense and run support we’ve let him down.” The Rebels are 27-25 (11-16 SEC) on the season following a ...

Ole Miss baseball on Saturday honored/recognized six seniors prior to first pitch of its second game of a critical, late-season series with No. 3 Texas A&M. Four later went on to help fuel the Rebels and their simmering postseason hopes with a 10-2, series-clinching win. Ole Miss rallied for a 4-3 win on Friday. Captain Reagan Burford clubbed his fourth home run to punctuate a five-run second inning. He later grinded out an 11-pitch at-bat for a sacrifice fly, as well as dazzled with his glove. “Just being able to represent this university for my teammates, the fans (and) my family, that’s pro...
