Another Major League Baseball season has arrived with more Diamond Dawgs making their names on the biggest stage. Early in the season, MSU had the most MLB players of any team in the SEC as Justin Foscue’s call up made 12 former Diamond Dawgs. Injuries have plagued several former Diamond Dawgs early this year, but they’re on the road to recovery and it should be an exciting year of baseball on the way. Kendall Graveman enters year 10 in the league as the eldest Dog still playing pro baseball but is expected to miss all of 2024 after having shoulder surgery. The same could be said for Brandon W...

It will be a busy offseason for most teams as the transfer portal era continues to grow, but Mississippi State will be among the busiest teams in the SEC this year. Coach Chris Lemonis and his staff got the Bulldogs back into postseason play this year after missing the last two seasons and State will have to replace several key players off of the 2024 team to do it again. MSU is expected to see Khal Stephen, Jurrangelo Cijtnje and Nate Dohm drafted in the first 10 rounds this year as well as positional players Dakota Jordan and David Mershon. Along with several other key contributors being out...

As the book closed on the 2024 Mississippi State baseball team, the 2025 roster will start to really take shape in the coming months. A big part of State’s roster will be known shortly after the MLB Draft concludes on July 16. There are two players that the Diamond Dawgs hope make it to campus to see the team take another step forward in a season. The Gatorade Player of the Year selections showed that Chris Lemonis is after some of the best in the country as he had Conrad Cason and Braden Booth land their state PotY picks. Cason earned the distinction of being Georgia’s best player which is a ...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – A collective gasp led to a roar inside Disharoon Park in the eighth inning as the air in Mississippi State’s dugout seemed to leave for good. As star outfielder Dakota Jordan took off for second to try to get the tying run in scoring position with two outs, the Bulldog runner beat the throw and tag. One problem would arise as Jordan slid through the bag at second base and a glove was waiting for him on the other side for the final out of the inning. That play felt like the last gasp for the Bulldogs in a game that would gather 63 games of ups and downs and ended with a d...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – All season long, Mississippi State has been plagued in its losses by mental mistakes and droughts offensively and it finished the Bulldogs’ season off on Sunday evening. After receiving exactly what it needed pitching wise in 8.0 innings of action, the offense never showed for the Bulldogs. A late meltdown on the mound from closer Tyler Davis allowed the floodgates to open up on what was a tight game as Virginia ended State’s run at the Charlottesville Regional with a 9-2 victory. “Congrats to Virginia. Really good ball club, one of the better teams we’ve faced all year....

With the season on the line Sunday afternoon, Mississippi State delivered what it needed to against St. John’s. The Diamond Dawgs put together the best offensive performance of the year and preserved the bullpen in a 13-5 victory over the Red Storm. A season-high 19 hits would power the team by and keep State alive in the Charlottesville Regional. “We got a good start, we got a good relief from Cam and we were pretty offensive today which was nice to see,” head coach Chris Lemonis said. “We need to have momentum for the rest of the weekend.” The game couldn’t have worked out much better for th...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – For most of the first six innings, Mississippi State had all of the momentum against Virginia and then the home team had it flip. After State failed to cash in for some insurance runs against Virginia freshman reliever Matt Augustin, the dangerous Virginia lineup would make the Bulldogs pay. State left six runners on base in the final three innings and the Cavs scored two runs in the seventh to tie the game before walking off the Bulldogs in the ninth inning, 5-4. It was the 13 loss this season for a Bulldog team that has lost most of them the same way. State’s offense c...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – A year ago, Chris Lemonis was tasked with finding a way to get Mississippi State back to reaching its heightened expectations. The Bulldogs followed up the schools’ first team National Championship by putting together two miserable seasons in a row. Consecutive years of missing out on postseason altogether called for a changing of the guard at pitching coach and Lemonis had to find a way to change it. While fans’ frustrations grew due to the length of time it took the coach to find his man, it was well worth the wait. South Carolina pitching coach Justin Parker has added...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Dakota Jordan stepped to the plate in the bottom of the 10 inning facing yet another big moment. The sophomore outfielder has been in the middle of the biggest slump of his career. Just 1-for-his last 26 at the plate with 11 strikeouts, St. John’s chose to intentionally walk David Mershon ahead of him with the tying run at third and two outs. With one swing of the bat, the weight of the world was unleashed off of Jordan’s shoulder. A shot to right field would land in the Mississippi State bullpen and the Diamond Dawgs walked off the Red Storm 5-2 in 10 innings. “I just t...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Although the disappointment of Mississippi State’s hosting snub is still fresh on the minds of the Diamond Dawgs this week, the team is turning the page. No matter the location, State’s hopes of making a run to the College World Series remain. A Regional at Virginia is the new challenge for a team that has been through quite a bit of adversity this season and managed to get back into postseason for the first time since the 2021 season. State (38-21) enter Friday night’s game one of the Charlottesville Regional having played good baseball down the stretch. Even some strug...
