Ole Miss had two players selected in the first 50 picks of the 2023 MLB Draft this week, and three high level prospects drafted in the first six rounds.
Jacob Gonzalez became the highest draft pick since Drew Pomeranz (selected 10th overall) when he was drafted by the Chicago White Sox. The Chi-Sox later picked Rebel catcher Calvin Harris in the fourth round and 116th pick. The organization has become somewhat fascinated with Ole Miss it seems as Tim Elko, Taylor Broadway and of course our favorite fireball throwin’ and cussin’ son Lance Lynn are in its collective roster.
