These 24 players from Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Southern Miss are eligible for the MLB restart

After months of waiting, the 2020 Major League Baseball season is scheduled to start on Thursday.

Plenty of changes are coming with a COVID-19 shortened season. The DH is coming to the National League. Games are being scheduled regionally instead of by league. Extra innings will start with a runner on second base.

But one of the most notable changes is the change to roster construction. All 30 MLB teams have picked a pool of up to 60 players to participate in "Spring Training 2.0." Those 60-man rosters are comprised of Major League players and top Minor League players who teams may choose to call up to the big leagues at some point this summer.
