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...

Mississippi State’s postseason coordinates are now set. Sunday brought the news that the Diamond Dawgs would be going on the road for postseason and Monday brought the locations and opponents. State is headed to the Charlottesville Regional to face off against the No. 12 overall seed Virginia as well as No. 3 seed St. John’s and No. 4 Pennsylvania. After two seasons spent at home for postseason play, the Bulldogs (38-21) return for the 40 Regional appearance in school history. State has a record of 125-90 in the NCAA Tournament dating back to 1949. State has won 17 Regionals over the course of...

While disappointing to most that follow the maroon and white, Sunday night shouldn’t have been too much of a surprise. Word began to get around on Sunday afternoon that Mississippi State would likely not be getting a hosting spot in Starkville for the NCAA baseball tournament. State had ample opportunities to put their hosting fate in lockdown but the Bulldogs didn’t take care of their business. State lost seven games in a non-conference schedule that was ranked 132 nationally. None of those losses were particularly “good” for State. It included a game to Air Force (114 RPI) and Central Arkans...

Speculation has been rampant for weeks now about Mississippi State’s chances of hosting a baseball Regional but that came to an end on Sunday night. The NCAA Selection Committee released its top 16 seeds on social media and Dudy Noble Field will be vacant for a third-straight June. The Bulldogs missed out on a hosting spot this season after being on and off the hosting bubble for the last month. The biggest issue that the Bulldogs had to fight in the selection process was the RPI. Despite the committee questioning the metric and adding new tools to the process this season, it appears to be som...

A five-run fifth inning from No. 15 Mississippi State put the No. 1 Tennessee Volunteers’ backs against the walls, but the Bulldogs couldn’t finish. An Amani Larry error with two outs in the seventh and a solo home run in the eighth from UT would be the difference in the game as the Vols eliminated State from the SEC Tournament, 6-5. The Bulldogs lost their second-straight game by one run and now have 12 losses on the year by that margin. State played with fire all night with the potent Volunteer offense as the SEC champions had a runner on base every inning. Starting pitcher Pico Kohn and rel...

Mississippi State’s offensive struggles continued in the SEC Tournament on Thursday and the Bulldogs didn’t have the luxury of a late-game swing to pull them out this time. Trailing 4-1 in the final inning, the Bulldogs tried to rally yet again but the hole would be too deep and 11 runners left on base would loom large. The Commodores would string together hits of their own and cash in for the 4-3 victory. The loss moved State to the loser’s bracket of the tournament where they will play No. 1 Tennessee in Friday’s evening game. While the Bulldogs had won the first two nights of the SEC Tourna...

For the second-straight night. Connor Hujsak came up with two outs in the ninth inning needing to deliver a big hit. For the second-straight night, Hujsak did just that. The senior outfielder had bases loaded and two strikes against him when he went after a pitch and grounded it up the middle driving in two runs. That would prove to be the difference in another close game for the Diamond Dawgs as they beat the No. 4 team in the nation in Texas A&M, 5-3. Big Hit SakThat two-RBI single from Hujsak provided back-to-back game winners for the former VCU transfer as he followed up his walk-off home ...

With Mississippi State’s hosting chances in the NCAA Tournament on the line to start SEC Tournament play, the Bulldogs were down to their last out against Ole Miss. State hadn’t scored for 8.2 innings and the team was down to its last out. On the first pitch Connor Hujsak saw, the outfielder would blast a two-run home run to left field to set Hoover, Ala., off in a 2-1 walk-off win. Hujsak has been the Bulldogs’ best hitter in SEC play but has been out for the last two weeks due to a back injury. His impact was felt the last two weeks in his absence and felt again in his return. “It’s unreal,”...

Less than 24 hours before the SEC Tournament begins, postseason honors are rolling in from the league. Mississippi State’s return back to postseason has been a welcomed sign for coach Chris Lemonis and a trio of players that helped make it happen were recognized for their production. The SEC coaches named RHP Khal Stephen and SS David Mershon as first-team All-SEC members. OF Dakota Jordan earned a spot on the second team. Stephen was a transfer portal find by Lemonis and pitching coach Justin Parker that has proven to be massive for State’s return. The Purdue transfer was third-team All-Big T...
