Opening day is quickly approaching, and the Ole Miss baseball outfield could see a wide-ranging cast of athletes in the 2020 season, especially early in the campaign.
Head coach Mike Bianco said on Tuesday that he expects the outfield to have the most moving parts early in the season.
“The outfield is probably the most fluid situation,” Bianco said. “I expect it to be that way for the first few weeks at least and maybe even into the month of March and close to conference play.”
Six or more players could see time in the outfield this weekend against the top-ranked Louisville Cardinals, but one of the pressing questions leading up to this season has been about roles that dual-sport stars Jerrion Ealy and John Rhys Plumlee will play on this year’s baseball squad.
