Mississippi State baseball received a major boost with the addition of Big-12 All-freshman team selection Ace Reese via the NCAA transfer portal. Reese, a highly coveted offensive player, made the decision to transfer from Houston after a successful freshman season. The left-handed hitter showcased his talent with a .278 batting average, 7 HR, and 34 RBI, making him a valuable addition to the Diamond Dawgs lineup.
Reese described the recruiting process as hectic but felt a genuine connection with the Mississippi State coaching staff during his visit to Starkville. The small town atmosphere and impressive facilities played a significant role in his decision-making process, along with other criteria like having his parents attend games, a winning program, and a supportive fan base.
The versatile player has big plans for the Bulldog baseball program, aiming to reach Omaha and compete for a College World Series title. With Reese’s commitment, Mississippi State now has five position players from the transfer portal, with plans to add pitchers before the start of the season in August.
Reese’s arrival adds depth and talent to an already strong Mississippi State team, and fans can look forward to seeing him excel at various positions on the field. With Reese’s determination and skill, the Bulldogs are poised for a successful season ahead as they aim for a return to the College World Series.
