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.

It’s on the official schedule of both the PGA Tour and the European Tour. Play runs from June 13-16. Suber has participated in two PGA Tour events since he joined the pro circuit in 2022.

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.

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...

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,” ...

All-time Ole Miss baseball great Jacob Gonzalez has multiple hits in four of his first five games since the Chicago White Sox promoted him to AA last week. Gonzalez has 11 hits in 25 at-bats (.458) with a home run and seven RBI. His Birmingham Barons have won all five of the road games they’ve played in Biloxi with Gonzalez in the lineup. Gonzalez has been reunited with Tim Elko as teammates once more. The pair won a national championship together as the shortstop and first baseman, respectively, for the Rebels in 2022. Gonzalez was the No. 15 overall selection of the Chicago White Sox in the ...

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...
