Pitching was the Rebels’ Achilles heel last season, and the main factor in hindering the 2015 team from making a postseason run.
Ole Miss was never able to find a reliable Sunday starter, and a thin bullpen left them in a tight spot late in games last year. Ole Miss eventually found its answer on Sundays at the end of the year in senior reliever Scott Weathersby, but moving him into a starting role made the bullpen even thinner than it already was. There a number of new faces on the pitching staff this year and Mike Bianco is hoping to find more depth in the starters and in the bullpen, a luxury he did not have a year ago.
