#RebsBSB Season Preview: Infield
OXFORD, Miss. - Ole Miss opens its 2018 baseball season in 19 days when the Rebels hosts Winthrop for a three-game series Feb. 16-18. Mike Bianco's group enters the year ranked in the preseason top 10 and will want to build on a 2017 season that provided some tough but valuable learning lessons to a relatively young team that boasted 29 freshmen and sophomores headlined by an immensely talented 2016 recruiting class.
Last year, Ole Miss boasted a .970 fielding percentage and will likely want to improve on that mark as it was good for 12th in the SEC. The two biggest voids the team needs to fill are the ones left by Tate Blackman and Colby Bortles at second and third base.
