Ole Miss baseball is off to a fast start after dispatching the Memphis Tigers on Tuesday, improving its record to 4-0 on the year. The Rebels pushed through a late-inning Tiger comeback and emerged victorious, generating plenty of optimism for this upcoming season.
The Rebels entered 2018 ranked No. 16 by BaseballAmerica.com, with some polls placing them as high as 9th.
Last season, the Ole Miss lineup was solid but featured many young players who lacked big-game experience. Head coach Mike Bianco wasted no time blooding the youth, and that should pay dividends in 2018. This year, the Rebels have experience all over the field and look equipped to make a deep run in the postseason.
