Ole Miss and head coach Mike Bianco are finally on the transfer portal board. BYU catcher Collin Reuter committed to the Rebels Sunday. The 6-foot-3 backstop is originally from Olive Branch, Miss., and played his high school ball at Magnolia Heights. The Honorable Mention All-Big 12 selection hit .265 with 10 home runs, 28 walks, eight doubles and posted an .860 OPS. In conference, though, Reuter hit .311 BA with eight home runs and an impressive 1.054 OPS. Ole Miss catcher Eli Berch entered the transfer portal earlier this month. Aside from Reuter, the only catcher on Bianco’s roster is Campb...

One former Ole Miss Rebel goes down, another steps up to take his place. Anthony Servideo, on Thursday, was promoted to the Norfolk (Virginia) Tides, the AAA affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. He replaced starter Errol Robinson, who went on the seven-day injured list. Robinson was a sixth-round selection of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2016 MLB Draft. He signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles in January. Robinson started 66 of 67 games for Ole Miss as an SEC All-Freshman in 2014. Ole Miss reached the College World Series for the first time in 42 years. Servideo was arguably Ole Mis...

There has not been a lot of transfer portal activity when it comes to Ole Miss baseball players leaving the program but a couple significant moves have been made since the portal opened earlier this month. Most recently, and maybe most notably, was the decision by starting pitcher Grayson Saunier to try his luck in the portal and find a new home. Saunier is the eighth Rebel to hit the portal since it opened on June 3 and the fourth pitcher. The Ole Miss Spirit confirmed an earlier report by Rebel Walk. Catcher Eli Berch was the most-recent Ole Miss player to hit the portal, doing so on June 8,...

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...

All-time Ole Miss golf great Jackson Suber learned Tuesday he was named an alternate for this week’s U.S. Open Championship.

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.

Earlier this week former Ole Miss slugger Tim Elko was named the Southern League’s Double-A Player of the Month. Elko — a three-time captain during his Rebel career — slashed .337/.535/.917 for the Birmingham Barons in May. He recorded a hit in 22 of 25 games and two or more in 11. Mixed in was a 14-game hit streak (May 11-28). Elko had 34 hits in all, as well as 54 total bases. He was second in the Southern League in RBI (19). Then-senior Elko sparked Ole Miss’ run to a national championship in June of 2022. He led the Rebels in slugging percentage (.642), RBI (75), home runs (24) and total b...

The Rocket City Trash Pandas finally poured some cold water on Jacob Gonzalez’s sizzling start to Double-A. But they didn’t cool him off completely. Gonzalez’s Birmingham Barons had been undefeated through seven games following his promotion last week. However, they lost to Rocket City, 5-3, in the first of a Wednesday doubleheader. Gonzalez was 0 for 3 with a walk and run scored. Gonzalez had been on an absolute tear as the team’s two-hole hitter. Cleaning him up has been his former Ole Miss teammate, Tim Elko. Birmingham previously swept six games at Biloxi, and Gonzalez and Elko had more co...

Campbell Smithwick was good enough offensively as a true freshman catcher for Ole Miss baseball last season. The problem was his defense. Smithwick committed to Ole Miss back in 2020 and signed years later as a Perfect Game All-American. He was the No. 68 overall recruit in the country, as well as the No. 1 catcher in Mississippi. Smithwick opened the year as the team’s starter behind the plate. However, his struggles ultimately resulted in a demotion to a timeshare with backup Eli Berch. Smithwick, in all, allowed 11 passed balls to get by him. “He got sped up back there,” Ole Miss hitting co...

The Birmingham Barons haven’t lost in seven games since former Ole Miss shortstop Jacob Gonzalez was promoted to AA last week. But it was another former Rebel who shined in a 4-0 win over Rocket City on Tuesday night. Three-time Ole Miss captain Tim Elko clubbed his sixth home run of the season — a three-run shot, which also scored Gonzalez, who had a hit in four at-bats on the night. Gonzalez is hitting .424 with a 1.035 OPS. Elko tied for the team lead in hits (2). He also paced the Barons in RBI (3) and walks (2). His batting average was hovering around .270 when Gonzalez, his former Ole Mi...
