Ole Miss Baseball Makes a Splash on National Signing Day
OXFORD, Miss., -- Since winning its first national title in program history, Ole Miss baseball coach Mike Bianco has been busy reloading his team for another run at Omaha.
The Rebels lost multiple key players to the 2022 MLB Draft after their magical postseason, including College World Series MVP Dylan DeLucia, first baseman Tim Elko and catcher Hayden Dunhurst.
Bianco responded by bringing in the No. 6 recruiting class of 2023, despite losing two top signees to the big leagues.
The defending national champions received commitments from 19 high school recruits on Wednesday, five of whom are top 100 prospects, according to Perfect Game.
