In a world where one mistake can sometimes be imprinted so deeply upon one’s life that it becomes their label, Mississippi State pitcher Peyton Plumlee was in need of a second chance.

It was last summer. It’d been a year since Plumlee, who was a key piece of MSU’s 2017 run to a super regional, was suspended after he failed an NCAA drug test. The punishment at the time? Plumlee was to miss 365 days from the date of the test. That meant the 2018 Mississippi State season was out for him.
