Coach Mike Bianco might feel differently about his roster when Ole Miss takes the field Friday in its season opener.
Depth is important to any baseball team, but its importance is amplified in a league like the SEC, and depth was not a luxury Ole Miss enjoyed in 2015. That team lost a lot from the world series team a year before, and a lot of guys were taking on major roles with little-to-no experience.
“Last year, in this moment in front of the microphone, I wanted to believe that we returned a good group of kids from the 2014 team that went to the College World Series,” Bianco said at a press conference on Tuesday.
