Ole Miss sports have long held a tradition of transforming collegiate standouts into professional athletes, and baseball is no exception. With eight former Rebels currently on MLB rosters and another 24 climbing the minor league ladder, Ole Miss has truly established itself as a catalyst for professional development in the Bianco-era.
While plenty more are sure to join their ranks soon, here are some of the former Ole Miss stars making their marks on the MLB in the 2017 season:
No. 30 Anthony Alford | CF | Toronto Blue Jays
If Alford’s name doesn’t ring a bell to most Ole Miss baseball fans, it may be because he never even played baseball during his time at the University of Mississippi.
