It is possible that Mississippi State could open the 2016 campaign with its fourth different catcher in as many years.
The Bulldogs’ primary backstop the past two seasons, Gavin Collins, is still around but will likely spend most of his junior season playing third base.
Senior Josh Lovelady, who started last year’s opener behind the plate, is also back but is being pushed by a pair of newcomers – juco transfer Jack Kruger and freshman Elih Marrero.
“Marrerois a talented player and he will be a significant part of our success this year,” said MSU skipper John Cohen.
