A new year of baseball has arrived with a lot of excitement on the way for former Mississippi State stars.
The Diamond Dawgs have more players in Major League Baseball than any other team in the SEC and there are plenty more that are right behind them in the minor leagues. 26, to be exact, continue to move their way up the ladder and make it to the same stage as 12 former Dawgs currently sit in the MLB and this season will be pivotal for many.
This week, Hunter Stovall made his debut having a 5-for-5 game in Triple A. Tanner Allen had a four-hit day of his own in Double A and had six hits in 15 plate appearances. In Double A, Andrew Walling threw two more scoreless appearances and took his streak without a run to start the season to five games.
KC Hunt continues his scoreless streak to begin the season and has now thrown 9.2 innings without allowing a run with five hits, two walks and 15 strikeouts.
