As the Ole Miss baseball team continues their fall practices, a familiar face returns to Oxford this semester.
The former Ole Miss first baseman, Sikes Orvis, is back in Oxford finishing his journalism degree and plans to graduate from the University in December. Orvis said he hopes his degree will allow him to stay associated with baseball long after his career is over.
The Chicago White Sox drafted Orvis in the first round of the 2015 MLB Draft. He now plays professional baseball at the Advance Rookie level in the Pioneer League for the Great Falls Voyagers in Montana.
